Hey now look at that and you can get a nice crimp in there too! Thanks! We have to give it a name like the .38 HR Mag :lol:
Will you load up a couple to see how they shoot?

I'm expecting my MB bullets tomorrow...I hope.
I could but my 357 is a Rossi, and would not be a proper comparison.
But still can if ya like, I'll have some time this afternoon.

Dont think it matters on the gun there Randy. Give them a try and let us know your powder choice and charge.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Okie dokie then, I'm your Huckleberry. ;) 11.2 of 2400 just to be on the safe side, and
the other day 11.2 wasn't far from the same accuracy as the 11.4, in the 357 loads.
I will let y'all know.

Thanks,Randy! I just got my bullets in and time to hit the reload bench. Too cold and windy outside to do anything else!

Alright back from the barn, those rounds cycled just fine, and didn't do to bad either.
The 4 shots at the top were from the sled, and the two at the bottom from the bag.
Recoil similar to the 357 loads.
A comparison

What was your shooting distances again? Great that you were able to test those out!
I will load up a few also but will be a while before the rifle gets here. Will also compare the two loads over the Chrony.
