Lost my load data for .357 magnum
I lost my entire load data sheet (it had every single round I had ever loaded) and I need to load some .357 magnum.
I am using 2400 with 158 grain flat nose plated bullets. Per my thread a couple years ago (right here) the load I had calculated was pretty hot.
Anybody have a good pet recipe for this?

For my hot loads in 357 with the 158gr X-treem PLFP I do prefer using 16.7gr H110. But I have also used 15.2gr of 2400 and it also worked very well, not as well as H110, but still pretty good 0 -

I have used these in a Black Hawk and a Rossi 972. they do have a bit of a kick.
The FPS listed are not mine, but from the source. I have not croned these.
I only use the 2400 loads for their visual effects.
My preference is Bullseye 5.5g, I get 1114 FPS. (158g LSWC)0 -
I live in an older house out in the country. When cold weather comes sometimes a mouse will end up in the cellar. I went to get my late fathers reloading note book. When I opened the drawer I about cried. The mouse had chewed on the book and I lost about 30% of his data and notes. One saving thing was he always had all the info on the plastic cartridge boxes, but it still broke my heart because it was his. 0 -
