357 magnum 185gr lead load data

Postby ghostrider » Fri Nov 02, 2012 9:46 pm

anyone here load 185gr lead bullets in a 357 magnum (revolver) for hunting?

I just ordered a box of these and am collecting additional load data:

Sorry I don't, but look like some hefty rounds...I'd love to shoot a few to try them out.
Tell us what you come up with.

These look like fun...How would it look to be looking the wrong way at these in a revolver after it's been in the light..!!
All you'd see is 4 glowing dots looking at you..!! :evil2:

Maybe they would be good for hunting hog at night...Maybe you can see them "Glowing'" in the dark after hitting them???????
Just a guess :fire
