Thread: Reloading .357mag

Hi guys, just picking your brains before I get started. I've loaded lots of rifle ammo before but no pistol ammo. I'm thinking of using AP70N, 158gr Honady's, Starline brass but haven't decided on primers yet.

Rifle is a Henry Big Boy Carbine .357
Type of shooting.....plinking no hunting, 25-100m
Press is a Dillon XL650

My questions:

1) Any other recipes would be much appreciated particularly lever gun shooters. They must feed.
2) Any special technique over and above that for rifle? I see the cold-hot range is much tighter...more risk.
3) Standard or Magnum pistol primers, what brands?

Cheers James.
