Favorite .357 Loads?
I love The .357. Yes its load and muzzle blast can be bad. But I wear hearing protection when hunting so not bad at all.
My everyday load is 6.0 ge of Unique with a 158gr SWC/Keith. Mild to shoot and accurate in ever gun I’ve used it in. Will work on deer just fine. Dedicated Hunting loads I use a 158gr XTP with a max. load of 2400, 296 or AA#9. All have worked well for me.
