Yep, that is pretty much what the book says. Lyman 16.3 grains 1178 fps. Nosler 14.9 1460 fps. Hornandy 15.6 1250 fps. I will load some starting around 14.0 and see what I get. Just thought I would ask if anyone had any experience with H110 using 158 gr bullets In 357 mag.
I have a lot of H110. I ordered 2 lbs and received 5 lbs. Offered to send it back but Hogdon told me to "keep it and thanks for tell us where it went".
Early in my shooting career (scant more than a decade ago), I looked for a single load that I could use in both my Big Boy and my SmokeWagon revolver. I'm just a plinker, so my only considerations were that it worked well in both guns and was accurate. Since then I've shot a few thousand of them. It's a mild load by anybody's standards, but I don't want to beat up the guns or myself. I just want to have fun shooting. It's accurate in my Big Boy out to 50 yds.

13.9 grains of H110 / 158 grain jsp or jhp bullet (Zero).

IIRC you mentioned this load a few years ago when I first started here. It's become my go to h110 load for 357 magnum and roze 158 grainers. Most of my loads are 180 subs, but for 158's this is the bee's knees.

Yesterday my RCBS cast bullet manual, berger and nosler manuals arrived. I'm waiting on lyman 44th edition. I drew down a 100 or so 45 acp to .452 jackets. I've about 200 left to do. That should give me about 500 .452 jackets, and 600 ish .375 jackets for the year.

You can read in the dark?
Also, after downloading, you could print it.
