I got some reloading dies for the GP100 for Christmas. I plan to load 125 grain Sierra JSP's in each. Unique in the 38, Tite Group in the .357 to start.
My question is with the .38. I plan to use Winchester Brass, which were factory loads. They are not +P marked. Obviously the GP100 will handle +P loadings, but do I need +P marked brass to load to +P levels.
The reason I ask is my manual (Speer) shows 5.7 grains for Unique and DNR. The +P load shows to 7 grains if memory serves right.
Thanks
357, I use H-110 for full power jacketed loads. Unique for midrange cast SWC's, and Bullseye for light target WC loads.
Never tried TiteGroup in 357.
Brass is brass whether marked +P or not.
Speer 14 Doesn't have the DNR. You didn't mention what number Speer manual.
Speer 10 Does show the DNR (do not reduce in case someone is wondering). Reason for DNR; so you don't stick a bullet in the barrel. Max is listed at 6.0 grs.
Some 357 loads.
