Should be able to, as long as the COL is correct for your gun.

Tried some brass case cci blasers today,they shot great & were not real pricey

.The bullet looked serious?speer?I wonder if blasers come in the same bullet/brass combo except in 38spl..? I dont want to try and run the cci aluminum cases thru my lever gun....for some reason

Anyways.... do you guys reload the 357?
Thanks for the help!

I reload 38/357 never fired any aluminum cci cases don't like to use that abrasive metal in my handguns.My favorite bullets are 110 & 125gr HP's in my SW Mod 19 6" barreled revolver.

For what it's worth, I use the 125gr XTP bullets in my .350 Rem Mag as a bunny load and for lower recoil target practice (2550 fps, I'm gettng 1.5" groups at 100 yards). I am also loading them into a Marlin 336ss LTD in .35 Remington.

Gotta love the .35's. HUGE versatility.

Yep you can. My Marlin 1894C shoot 158gr Win JHP's great. Mostly I shoot home cast 158's for small game. I sight the rifle in at 25 yds for the casts going 1150fps and the JHP's will shoot dead on at 75 yards without moving the sights. JHP's are going 1750fps using H110 out of my rifle. The 1894C is the most shot gun I own. Luv that little bugger.

I own and shoot one also, MUCHO fun gun! Want to add a peep or scope.....any suggestions? Also, I intend to pop a deer sometime, thought of 158 Rp SP, or 158 Hornady, or Speer Gold Dot's, any experience on deer.
