Thread: Reloading Mysteries

When I first got interested in subsonics it seemed that Trail Boss was a simple and safe powder to manage... which it is. I started using pistol powder when I couldn't fit enough Trail Boss into my .357 case to give me 1050 fps. The pistol powders are cheaper per shot too. If I had to choose just one powder for reloading .357, I'd pick AP70N. I'll have to get some W296 or AR2205 if I want more velocity. All I really want to have is the ability to get an animal for the freezer occasionally, and I am well equipped for most common hunting scenarios. But there is a tempting array of calibres, powders and projectiles crying out to be experimented with. And when I go to the range it is easy to shoot off all the cartridges I have with me.
