Longshot and 357 mag

[wvfarrier]

I was researching load data for the 125 grain projectiles in 357 mag and 38 spl +p. Anyway, my go to powder for 38 is unique and H110 for the magnum. However, looking at longshot shows some rather impressive numbers as well.

Has anyone run Longshot in the 357 magnum?

I tried 6.2 grains of it in some 38 spl +p loads today and was amazed to get an average of 979fps out of a 3" barrel. The accuracy was on par with any of my other loads, recoil was quite a bit less than any magnum loads but a bit more than my typical 38 +p loads. It was also quite a bit cleaner than unique.

Hmmm. I was looking for some testimony too. Glad to here it's great for .38. I grabbed 2 or 3 lbs this summer.

I wish i could find some! the last great powder shortage i bought 2 lbs of Longshot & used it in some 357
45 colt & 454 revolvers. I sure liked it, but untill i find some i have plenty of other powder to burn up
