I used to load 22-ish grains of H110 behind a 210gr bullet in a 41 Mag. That 158 ought to fly!Thank you. You should see the look on people's faces when they see it actually being fired.
There are no 357AMP shells or loads offered on the market. You have to make them. The 357AMP is a necked down 44AMP. Then I am loading it with a 158gr 38/357 bullet. I am just starting to load for it so I am loading them light, with just 19gr. of H110. Testing was documented using a nice little load of 20gr H110 and they were averaging CUP pressures of 46,500.
I also got a chrono for Christmas and am hoping to do some speed tests soon.

Sure. I went out and shot them all (.224 Valkyrie Ladders) today and recorded all the data. Give me a bit to log it all in and I'll happily post it up.Would you want to share load data?
As with all of my AR's, I built this myself.old11...thank you so much! Nice looking range BTW. May I ask what rifle that is? I am thinking about the RRA 20" upper.

Holding myself to a higher standard?!? Thanks for the information, it does make me feel a little better about my skills (or lack thereof). I will change the data in my logs.Thanks for posting that data!
One thing though. Your MOA is incorrect. If that's 200 yards, your MOA is actually half of what you wrote. IE, a 2.000" group at 200 yards is not 2moa. It's actually 1 MOA.
You're ripping yourself off
Have you shot the Game Changers yet? I shoot Game Kings and am intrigued with the Game Changer (TGK). Wondering if you had any insight.loaded up 50 rds of 6.5 creedmoor
trimmed 1.910
130 sierra game changers
Its happening all over guys. Make sure you don't hit the post button twice even though it looks like it didn't take. Mods are on it and reaching out to @Joe Link
Nothing wrong with that! Though some bullets do require more time to "settle down" (I believe Bryan Litz gets into this a little), the majority will easily stabilize @ 100 yds or before. The ones that won't, seem to be the ones that are driven hard.Holding myself to a higher standard?!? Thanks for the information, it does make me feel a little better about my skills (or lack thereof). I will change the data in my logs.
Side note: I prefer shooting the test groups at the 200 yard line under the auspice of giving the projectile slightly more time/distance to stabilize than it would at the 100 yard line. Not sure if my theory is flawed, but I sure would like to see one group of 5 rounds through a single ragged hole at 200 yards. Maybe I'll get lucky and eventually learn to squeeze them off like a true gunner one day.
