Yeah,I know ".357" and "plinking" don't exactly go together but I'm looking for some "fun" loads to shoot out of my new 3" GP100. I only had half a box of Blazer aluminum 158gr the first trip out. It was OK but didn't feel much different than a warmer 38 load I had (Magtech 125gr - the hotter one).
Trying to research .357 loads it is real hard to get a feel for how much power and recoil a given load has. I want some options that are in the low-to-mid range and don't cost an arm-and-leg. I was thinking about Freedom Munitions but my experience with their 38 loads has been good and bad and the 357 FMJ load is advertised at 1375fps which seems like it might be starting to get into the "not fun" range.
What say you?
