    Default FA .357 cast loads

    I aquired an FA83 Sil model, .357. Would like to shoot cast bullets. Have an RCBS 180 and a Lee and Lyman 158. I started with LilGun for the 180, then read post from the FA manufacturer that the LilGun would burn out the forcing cone within a very few firings. I am testing 4227 (l5.5 with the 180 RCBS) and have got promising groups. With the 158 I have tested Bullseye (7.5) and got respectable groups. Any suggestions?

    Hey Clyde,
    Try some H110 with your 180 gr cast bullets. It seems to work in most of the FA83's. H108 is even better, but it's hard to find.

    Impossible is just a degree of difficulty
