Hello,

Does anyone have any load data for the 356 Winchester w/ the 200 Gr. WNFP?  I am a beginning reloader, and I am wondering....the bullet specs say.360 or .470 Nose to crimp length.  Does this mean that you can load to either length, or or we talking two different bullets here?  Pardon my ignorance here.  Which would be correct for loading into a Winchester Big Bore 94?  Thanks for any help.

Hi, CD:
 This bullet has 2 crimp grooves, so you can seat them to either length. I think you can seat them long in the .356

Bye

Hey Chris,

Take a couple of .356 Win cases and trim them to the overall length you'll be reloading, and seat a BTB bullet to the longer OAL crimp groove (ie more powder room inside).  Then take these 'dummy' cartridges (no powder or primer) and run them through the rifle.  You'll know really quickly if they'll work for you.  It's always good to have a couple of 'dummies' around for setting up your reloading dies......they're already set to spec's .... you screw in your seater die (for example) loosely, and run a ' dummy' into the die.  Now you adjust the die down into proper adjustment (seating stem just touching the top of the bullet) and secure it.  You get the same set up every time.

Looks like my wife and I will be moving back to WV about this time next year.....life's full of adventures!  We'll have to get together and burn some gun powder.

Take care....

Thank you sir!

I am most grateful for all of your help Lobo, now and for the past few years.   I sure hope you come back to the East Coast...we need more of your type here.   We will definitely burn some powder in the near future.

Can't wait to get this 356 Winchester Crankin.  I refuse to let a good rifle die, despite the conspiracy against this gun/cartridge....and also refuse to pay &#3626.00+ bucks a box!  Now....just trying to find some good loads for some of these 200 Grain WNFP's.  I'll let you know how I do with them.  God Bless to you sir, and great to hear from you.  Talk soon.
