      Hi, tomorrow I will receive some RMR .357 smiley which as you are a FMJ at 147 gr. I have a jug of enforcer which. I would like to use but there is very little data at that weight, FMJ for such load. I have been able to extrapolate what would be a starting point but thought I would ask here.
      Have any members done such? Any information is greatly appreciated.

        Are you asking about 357 Sig or 357 Magnum?

          Thanks.

            Head over to the Hodgdon reloading data center. I selected 357, then checked the boxes for Ramshot and Enforcer in the selections. I left the bullet selection blank.

            They don’t show a 147 grain load with Enforcer but they do show a 140 and 158 grain load.

            140 grain- Starting load is 14.4 grains Enforcer, 16.0 Max

            I would start a little less, say 14.0 grains and work up from there.

              Thanks that was one of my sources for my start point.

                Finally ready to go. The OAL of both the 140 and 158 is 1..590. I see no reason to not use the same even though different bullets. Wrong?
