I hand load the mighty 50/90 now. I love it.
I just got all my "stuff" for the 357 Mag handloading.
It is for a totally rebuilt 1865 Rolling Block No 1 newly chambered in 357 Magnum/38 Special.
I want one handload for taking white tail deer. Big ones.
I want another for general shooting / medium ranges, I want it a flat shooter though, for target and for smaller game.
I want one for ultra light, very quiet, playing around target shooting to 50 yards, night shooting.
I intend to use the BearTooth 185 Grain Flat Metplat cast bullet with Gas Check, over H110 Powder, about 13.5 grains.
I have 158 grain Hornady FP/XTP, maybe, for the second application. I assume I can use the H110 for that too? Is this a good place to start or do you have better recommendations?
What about the third application? Do I need to go to loading 38 specials too or can I use the 357 Mag dies and brass and just find the bullets and powder loadings for an ultra light load? I would prefer that as I do not want to get more "stuff".
