I decided to use the chrono I got on my new 357 mag loads today. I pushed them to edge a bit.
How bout 1502 fps out of a 4" barrel and 125 XTPs?
Black Hills factory: 1260 fps.
I've officially moved my 686 ahead of my 1911 as my favorite handgun. I just started reloading 357 recently and have found it to be one of those calibers that you really need to handload to get the most out of it. This thing has turned into one nasty handfull and I LOVE it! I'm reminded of Tim "the toolman" Taylor with this load. There can't be a nickels worth of difference between the recoil of this and my 629.
