Disclaimer: Do not use this reloading data without first consulting the manuals listed in the source column. This data is not complete; for example, some of the loads listed use magnum primers, while others use standard primers. This information is contained in the manuals. The purpose of this chart is to steer you to the manual which contains information on the load you are interested in, it is not meant to replace these reloading manuals. Note that the various manuals tend to disagree about maximum charge weights. For example, the Lyman manual lists a maximum load of 14.9 grains of 2400 for a .357 Magnum with 158 grain jacketed hollow point bullets, while the Hornady manual lists 13.5 grains as its maximum load with the same powder. Once again, consult the manuals before reloading.
