360 DW

[Redleg11B]

I found one link to data for the 360 DW. I am wanting more, and that link does not have 2400 data. So far, I have tried some 2400 with Speer's 4217 bullet with data for the 357 Mag. 14.5 grains loaded to 1.74" shows real promise, but unknown velocity. I really want to keep using this bullet. I also have H110 and A1680.

I plan on using this for thumping steel and hunting, so I would prefer an inexpensive load that will do both. Any cast loads also accepted.

redleg,
Since you wanna stay with a 158 gr. bullet stick with H110.
I use 360 brass in my maximum when maxi brass gets scarce.
I shoot contenders and like the heavy bullets ... 180 gr. cast.
I load 20 gr. W296 and could go more but don't need to.
The DW loads can handle more than the magnum but not the maximum.
Start with 15.5 gr. of H110 behind your bullet and work up from there.
You'll find your accuracy peaks somewhere around 16.2 gr. depending on your barrel length.
Good luck.

Time to break the H110 out again. I have a rifle barrel.

I think I found a good load. I got excited and know the third round was off, but still just about 1MOA. I tested up to 19.5 (Dan Wesson listed starting load). This was the best group of them all.
