I have to treat this barrel as though it's a superlight. It shoots 2 shot groups really well. 😁

38.5gr A1680 and the 180gr Speer SPFN average 2402fps and shot into 1.25" at 50yds.

I'll chrono the 200gr FTX loads in a few weeks after I get back from Maine. My son will be hunting black bear for the first time. He'll be carrying his 357 Maxi Handi rifle loaded with the 180gr Barnes TSX FN.

Allowing barrel to cool between shots ? Maybe needs break in period ? I had a Marlin 336 that would do the 2 shot groups. Somewhere around 200 shots through it and it almost suddenly started producing great 5 shot groups. I did the typical forearm stress relieving and all that jazz to no avail. Around 200 shots it just clicked.

after reading all the posts it's clear many just post w/o reading the whole thread.
looks like a nice cartridge for the single shot and lever folks.
just bought a 350 Legend savage pistol for 1/2 retail. The .355-6 business makes no sense but NOE will make me a mold. Scoped it will be a fun steel ringer.

Hodgdon now has data available via email. Give them a call and they'll send it to you. It's not on their website right now.

Loads listed for bullet weights from 180-250gr. CFE BLK and A1680 have the highest listed muzzle velocities. 2400-2500 fps for 180s and 2300+ for 200s.

I just got my CVA Scout back from Mike Bellm that I had rechambered to 360 BH. I haven't got a chance to go to the range with it yet. For now I'll be using 200gr. Rem. factory loads. As I create some brass, I'll start working on loading Speer 180gr. FP and 200gr. Hornady FTX.
