TCLouisWhats your 357 Herrett Mildest Plinker to Hunting Loads
Especially interested in cast bullet loadings.
Cast 180 - 220 grain for hunting, and any35 caliber cast for a plinker load that will be accurate out to about 100 yards.
150- 200 jacketed bullet loads also appreciated.
Are you shooting 10 or 14 inch barrel?
I have a bunch (more than lifetime supply of the 150 Remington SP that was loaded in the 35 Remington, may still be.

Keith1I can't help you with cast bullets but my 357 Herrett load is:
200 grain Hornady FTX
37 grains of H322
Federal 210 primer
This load is very accurate out of my 14 inch barrel and produces 1950 fps.
Regards, Keith

Paul HI don't have my load data handy, but with a 200 gr cast, it worked best with a max published charge of AA 1680. The loads chronoed right around 2000 fps from the 10" tube, and 3 shot groups were 1 1/2" @ 100yds, not bad for cast and me being new to contenders. I don't recall ever working up plinker loads.

MuskegManI'm looking for a .357 H or .35 Rem carbine barrel for a G1 Contender. Been checking GunBroker and such, but if anyone has a lead please let me know.

Keith1Muskeg,
Check Ed's Thompson Contenders. He usually has lots of barrels.
