Hunter
I just acquired a Rossi R92 16" carbine in .357. I already own and reload for a .38 Special Service-Six and .357 Security-Six, using Bullseye. I'd like to work up loads that get the most out of my new rifle, but online info is contradictory. The most recommended powders are Li'l Gun, 2400, and H110/W296.
Critics of H/110/W296 cite a small safe range, and erratic performance in cold weather.
One firearm manufacturer says Li'l Gun burns hot enough to burn out barrels quickly.
2400 is more versatile, but is said by some to be dirty.
What say the Forum members? I'm not looking for absolute maximum velocity, just safe, effective loads for heavier bullets.
