I've been handloading for my .357 magnum revolvers for over ten years, and I thought I'd share a superbly accurate load I developed with you fellows.

R&C hard cast match bullets made by Ron Ames in Klamath Falls, Oregon... I use his 125 grain CN-BB with taper crimps for an exceptionally smooth feed from speedloaders.

Whatever brand of brass I use, I make sure not to mix brands in each lot.

7 grains of Unique... And, yes, I patiently weigh every charge.

CCI 550 magnum primers.

I have provided other shooters with samples of this particular load, and it visibly impressed everyone of them.

Thanks for sharing, and welcome!

Now for something completely different.... Marshall's 185gr. FNGC, over a heapin' helpin' of 296... (should end up around 16 grains).... Turns the .357 into a real thumper! But it's the most accurate centerfire handgun load I've ever shot.
