Shane Not Sean Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 For the New Vaqueros and Uberti 1873. I want to use Red Dot for my shot shell and metallic hand loading, and I've about got my shot shell dialed in. Now I need to work up my .357. Does anybody have a good .357 Red Dot recipe with 125gr bullets? Not looking for a .38 recipe. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 My Laser-Cast Reloading Manual quotes 4.1 grains of Red Dot gives 961-fps out of a 6-inch revolver barrel. That gives you an upper bound on an acceptable load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I use 3.5 grains of Red Dot in .357. A little recoil but pretty mild. A buddy liked 4.0 in his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel City Dude Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I use 4.0 gr. of Promo which is Red Dot without the dots. Works fine in my 357. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I know, you said ,357, not ,38special. More shoot .38sp. Not all your brass will be returned to you. With.38, I don't care if It's my brass, or not. If I get a .357 in the batch when I'm reloading, it goes in the recycle pail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null N. Void Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 3.3. to 3.4 grains of Red Dot or Promo with an 125 grain TCFP bullet crimped in the groove. Red Dot and Promo are interchangeable. Federal Small Pistol or Small Pistol Magnum. I get about 850 FPS out of my rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a little ..357 brass also but I put in in my gun cart and take it back to the match. I know it is not much but the .357 shooters seem to appreciate getting a few back.
