[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 2654876, member: 109229"] I’m still playing around with the Ruger. Today, I went back with 12 rounds each loaded at 6.0 and 6.5 grains of Unique and a 158 grain Sierra JHC. No data in my Hornady or Nosler manuals on this combo but an on-line search revealed charges in the 6.0 to 6.5 grain range, running up to around 7.2 grains. It did OK at 15 and 25 yards (I guess). I have a question about Unique, as I’ve read that it burns really hot with heavy loads. Something about “forcing cone errosion”? Have any of you guys used this combination in your .357s long term with ill-effect? I like to be kind to my equipment. Can anybody Quick load the 6.0 and 6.5 charges and let me know what kind of speed and KE I’m getting? Any words of wisdom in general pertaining to alternate powders and bullet choices for whitetail? Thanks! [ATTACH type="full"]407098[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]407100[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
