[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 558691, member: 35934"] Been reading some articles online about extreme handgun hunting and loading these bad boys up. I have a SW 586 that ill be trying H110 in. Just picked up 2# of it and 1# of 296. Right on the label for the H110 it gives a load of (im doing this from memory) 13.8gn 110 for a 180gn bullet flying at almost 1400 fps. Ill be using 158gn Cast GC bullets so still looking for a good starting load. Another interesting thing about 110 is this guy (says he has done lab tests) has verified the poweder burns without pressure spikes all the way to 70K PSI. Now no 357 can handle it but he goes on further to say you can check pressures by velocity because there are no spikes. He also loads for custom 45 LC pistols (he makes) rounds in the 45K psi range. Tomorrow after i get off of this darn graveyard shift ill load up some hot (not that hot) 45lc, 44mag and 357 mag rounds to see how they do. One warning though. He also states that he was able to blow cylinders up with this powder and still not get pressure signs on the brass. PM me if you want and i can send you the links. [/QUOTE]
