Thread: 357 Maximum powders for rifle length barrel.

You just got me thinking about heavy bullets in the 357 Max and it seems 200 Gr / 2000 fps would not be easy to achieve.
I would be interested in your loads when you work them up.
I just had a look at the pistol primers in my loads and they are quite flattened so small rifle primers may be needed.
Also 2207 could be a better powder for heavier bullets.
Please update on progress when you get it shooting.

Did you try the 200gr in the original chambering at normal loadings? I could not get accuracy from my rossi single with anything over 180's, put it down to the rossi's slow 1:30 twist.
