Was watching a video, bloke in the US trying to replicate a buffalo bore 357 load (180gr @ 1400fps). f***ing spicy load.
Bought a bunch, pulled em apart, 15.8gr of powder. Checked it against all his magnum pistol powders, assumed it was lil gun, found a similar hard cast bullet, not the same but close. Tipped 15.8gr in a case, pushed the bullet on top and off he went. Was a full grain over the maximum Hodgdon list for a jacketed bullet. No working up, full send.

Didn't blow up, chronoed 1450fps from a 4" Ruger GP100. That's 44 magnum type energy.

Thats choose your own adventure type stuff.

Revolvers can be loaded quite hot, the cylinder gap lets some of the pressure out whilst it is peaking and the GP100 is one of the strongest production revolvers available.

I wouldn't want to be pushing that close to the limit though, fingers don't grow back.

Makes for a good watch but not entirely sure I would pull the trigger on em with as little care, atleast wear a good glove
