I recently started reloading 357 magnum, and heard that Alliant's 2400 powder and Winchester small magnum primers was a really "hot" combination. Here is what I just loaded:
357 Mag
- 158gr LSWC
- 13.5gr Alliant 2400
- 1.59" overall length
- Winchester small magnum primers
Is that recipe "too hot", or should it be OK? I've seen some of the 2400 recipes calling for up to 17gr of powder, but it didn't specify the primer used. Some folks are saying the Winchester small mags run real hot.
What do you all think?
Thanks!
