[QUOTE="OkieJoe72, post: 3738769, member: 48447"] I’m trying to work up a cowboy load that my Henry 357 rifle will like. I’m using N320 powder and SWC bullets. For 38 special, the load data states that the velocity will be 886 fps for the starting load which is what I want. The load data is based on a 6 1/2” barrel. My rifle doesn’t like 38 special, and I can’t find a good 357 magnum recipe for a cowboy load using N320. So can I use the same load recipe in 357 brass? From my understanding, a concern in using a 38 special light load in a 357 case is that the possibility exists for sticking a bullet in the bore. My thinking is that with the 38 special load being shot out of the rifle, the velocity will be increased which would eliminate the concern of sticking a bullet. Am I right in this thinking or am I not thinking about it correctly? [/QUOTE]
