.357 Black Talon

[bullseye]

I found a bag of 147 gr Black Talon bullets at a reloading shop a while back and wondered if anyone had a clue about the specs of the original load for these. I have some nice .357 nickel +P brass to load them in and a 6" Ruger GP-100 to shoot them out of. :) I will load them all and test fire 10-12 to see how they shoot, then the rest will go in the wife's pistol to carry and the headboard pistol. Kind of like Hallmark, "When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best”

I would use 17 grains of W-296 over a small pistol magnum primer. Should get about 1600 FPS out of the 6".

With that said, I did not find any data for that bullet in that weight and W-296 is a funny powder. You NEVER want to use a reduced load. I extrapolated between the 125 gr and the 158 grain load.

Use this information at your own risk. Do some research at the various sites to come up w/a load.
