Me? I'm just giving you grief.

Can't wait to chuck lead next week, though!

I know....

I can't wait either. Today was really fun. Ran out of boolets quicker than I'd thought. I picked up a couple hundred pieces of 9mm brass and about 50 nickel .38 special brass at the range. I got a few more 357s and some brass .38 too. I had a sack full for sure!!

I need more .357 mag brass. Only have a couple hundred ea of nickle and standard brass!

I'm in need of 357 Magnum brass as well. I've only got 50 pieces of it. If you find some let me know!

I've only got like 40 pieces of nickle and 70 pieces of brass 357, you hush.

My brother loaded up a couple hundred more of these and took them home, I loaded up another hundred today and then resized/deprimed 200 more pieces of brass. I'm planning on 300 rounds of .38. I'm going to load up 50 or so of the J&Ks as 357 mag. I'm thinking 13 grains of 2400 or so. I'm going to try to load up 100 (have 100 now) more .45s and if you (Nikat) bring me 100 or so of the MG 9mm bullets loading them up on friday night. I've got about 60 147gr Berry's 9mms loaded up for the can.

You guys should look at Midway USA. They have some 357 brass in stock. Not all of their options are in, but they are showing some.

I loaded up some 4.2, 4.4, and 4.6 Unique's (my books gave 4.7/4.8 as max). I really liked the 4.2's and 4.4's out of my 6" S&W 686. Fairly mild recoil and good accuracy. Did not like the 4.6's though, my groups spread way out.

I'm fixing to load up some 158 SWC's over some Solo 1000 tonight. Update - just loaded up 50 rounds of 3.1grs of Solo 100 under my 158 LSWCs and another 50 with 3.2grs of Solo 1000. Range report tomorrow out of both my 4" GP100 and my 6" S&W 686.

4.3grs of Unique behind the J&K .38 158gr RNFP is magic out of my J-frame. I haven't shot a more accurate load from a J-frame, factory or reloaded.

I just realized that I bought 100 rounds of 357 from academy. That puts me at like 170 pieces of 357 brass.

If you order direct from Starline, you save about $60 per 1000 pieces over midways price.

Starline is $116 shipped and midway was $159 plus shipping.
