Thread: Reloading .357mag

Rifle is a Henry Big Boy Carbine .357
Type of shooting.....plinking no hunting, 25-100m
Press is a Dillon XL650

My questions:

1) Any other recipes would be much appreciated particularly lever gun shooters. They must feed.
2) Any special technique over and above that for rifle? I see the cold-hot range is much tighter...more risk.
3) Standard or Magnum pistol primers, what brands?

Cheers James.

If just plinking there are plenty of options. And it can be done reasonably cheap.
I just use cast or jacketed 150-158 gr projectiles small rifle primers and trailboss in my pistol.
Belmont magnum is pretty good cheap powder as well for full power loads.
