I am considering using their 180gr spire point in a 357 MAX H&R Handi rifle for eastern whitetail. Anyone know what velocities they are designed to work at? Someone at the H&R sight said they are made very thin skinned for XP-100s and the like and wouldn't perform well in the Handi. I suppose I could call Hornady, they make the dern things

Thanks,

that info is listed in the Hornady reloading manual, don't have it here at work, but maybe someone could look it up for you, if not, I'll look it up and post after work. It was designed for 357 max, herrett and 35 remington velocity ranges.

btw, It is a great bullet!!

I use the seating stem from my .35 Remington die set, it is properly formed. You/I can buy another but I also use FP bullets in my Max and so will switch the stem back and forth as required.

I had the same idea, but the largest caliber die set I have with the correct style plug is 7mm rem mag and it falls straight through the 357 die. I just got off the phone with Lee and they want $8 (no shipping charge) for the plug, I just have to provide a sample bullet.

I looked it up, recommended velocity for the bullet is 1600-2400 fps. Just what you need.
