Hey Yall,
New to the forum and I'm in need of some help on reloading 357 Magnum using 158 grain Zero jsp, starline brass and WSPPM.
My question is powder choices, when I look through all the differect reload data the powder charge and velocity just don't compare.
What I need is a load that will achive around 1250 fps.
Right now I reloading 14.5 gr of W296
Hornady 9th Editions indicates 14.5 gr to be 1150 fps this is with a 158 gr. XTP, seems kind of snappy for 1150 fps
Some how I just don't trust that data compared to other data out there.
I shooting this load for my Ruger GP100 6"

Any help would be great.
