Reloading for the new 357 wheel gun, looking to make some light plinking loads.
Research seems to say that 4.5gr of Trail Boss under a 125gr Berry's plated HP should work. Berry says treat them like cast, the Hodgdon web site shows 3.5gr - 5.3gr as the load range for 125gr lead, and just by eyeball the 4.5gr looks to fill the case 75% without really compressing the powder down.
The barrel in the manual says it's 10"... mine is 2".
If they chonro too fast I can slow them down a touch, they just have to make holes in paper / knock down some plates.
Using assorted once fired brass, mostly Winchester but some RP and GFL.
Comments? Other than @Slacker saying I'm wasting powder with such a short barrel.
