[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3203832, member: 15054"] I think it is new data vs old data on the 357 magnum. The old data for that round was much hotter and today it has been down graded maybe because of wimpy guns or something. I have a very accurate load for my 6" revolver in 357 magnum that is my mild load and it is 5.1gr HP38 in Winchester cases No crimp, .002 neck tension, Lubed with "grease" not powder coated 158gr Lee gas checked SWC But my bullets weigh 170 gr with the gas check. Each load is weighed on a 505 beam scale. It is a mild load like I say not near as stout as my 13.5gr of 2400 with the same bullet which is not even a start load in some manuals, that is if it did weigh 158 gr though.. It moves along at 1376 fps from my gun. [/QUOTE]
