Has anyone made an all copper 357 hunting load? I'll be shooting this with a 16" lever action. Looking at using Barnes or Hornady bullets, but let you know what you guys have done.

I did not know Hornady made copper pistol bullets. I have not loaded 357, but just went through this for my 44 mag. Used Barnes bullets and load data off their website. -
Use Barnes and Barnes dataA 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

Maker bullets and cutting edge are a couple other options. I'm using makers in my 458 socom.

My Redhawk in .357 (circa 1986) like the Barnes 140 HP Copper bullet and AA#9 powder.
Good groups, I just wish they made a heavier .357/358 bullet meant for the .357.
They do , I believe, have a 200 gr. but it's intended use is in the .358 Winchester or 35 Whelen.Comment

Has anyone used Lehigh Defense bullets? In particular, 120gr Xtreme Defense copper. I found some on Midway and will try them out. 120gr is ligher than what i wanted, but that's all they had in stock for 357.Comment
