Post by Hogstir » Thu Aug 03, 2017 9:57 pm

Anybody had any luck with a good full power load using 125 JSPs and H110?

Never tried it, but I suspect they be fun to shoot from a BIg Boy. I could be completely wrong, but I wonder how accurate they'd be? Pushing a light, short bullet like that at .30-30 speeds? Be impressive if it's an accurate load.

looking forward to hearing your reports .... when it comes to full power, hunting level loads, we use Nosler 158 gr JHP's pushed by 14.8 g. of W296 or 15.9 g. of H110 .... when it comes to practice/paper punching rounds, I'm open to trying most anything on the market ....

Wow, that looks great. I'm using my BBS 357 to hunt coyotes so I don't really need 158 gr bullet. In addition I was hoping to flatten out the trajectory.

I'm impressed with how clean your reloading bench is! I have never loaded the 357 with less than 158 grain bullets. Need to try it myself.
