Long,
What bullet weight are you looking at?
The 158 gr bullet would be a good weight and H110 is an excellent powder for the 357 Mag.

I never considered loading for a pistol (other than my Contender). But with this 686 I thought maybe I would consider it. I don't think I would hunt with it, but may take it out during rifle season on the side. I suppose a 158 gn bullet would do.
Hey JD, have you ever been to Gary's guns in Muskegon? Great prices on guns and ammo. Best I've seen anywhere.

Both my 686's were awesome with 158's+H110+Mag Primer.

I like Blue dot and 125 JHP. Also AA2400 and 4227 works well.

Be careful with Blue Dot. Read on another sight that the makers issued a warning with blue dot and 125 grain bullets in the 357 and warned about it in 41 mag I believe.

When you say "mag primer" are you talking large pistol or a real mag primer?

Long,
No, I have not been there. I will check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Give me a shout next time you are heading south of the bridge.
