I have always had some type of lighter loading for shooting small game with my handcannons.

Anyone else do this or are you using full power loads?

I use the same bullet,240gr hardcast,that I use for deer. But I use 8.5gr of Unique for my Grouse hunting load.

I developed a nice .360" round ball load for the 357mag this summer. I have yet to try it on game but it does shoot to the same POI as my 158 loads at 25 yards and 5 shots into about an inch. This load should prove to be fun!

I am also going to develope a 44 round ball load once i obtain a scope for the barrel.

So MSS what is the load data for that one.

I used to have data for 2 round balls in the 357 but lost that in a motherboard death!
