The 4.7gr was 357 Right with small pistol primers now that is all I got
I would love to shoot better stuff but just can't find any. Well I think I will just stop shoot then.

If you still have more to load 6.0 gr. of Unique with a cast 158 gr. bullet is a mid range .357 Mag load according to Load Data from Reloader Magazine.

I have looked on line and all around me and can't find anything, if some one knows of some please let me know.

We assume you are talking about you cant find anymore powder to load anymore and you are out?

I cannot comment on components for handloads. I am referring to a finished product. As far as online, I have not found much in the way of not too crazy of prices. I have been able to drive within a 120 miles area and find .38/.357 rounds for around $1 per round. Not too great of a price, similar to what I was paying for 30-30. So, I count it as not being too bad. Mind you, I did not make a special trip for ammo. I just happen to check as I was driving to take care of something else.

Things seen to work out that way. I stopped at a gun shop on the way back from the airport, checking for ammo, which I did find. And, another customer told me about a shop about 2 miles away. The shop did have ammo, at a price more then I was willing to pay. But, it had a shotgun, at a price that I was willing to pay. So, it was not a blank trip. I found ammo for my .357s and a shotgun, at prices that I was willing to pay.

For me, I just check every opportunity that I can. And, things just seem to work out. That is why I made the comment of just keep looking. It may take awhile. But, it will work out, in the end.

I have the powder and the only bullets I have are the leaded ones the brass I only have about 75. So the brass and better bullets are what I need . I have looked at all the stores in 100 miles and no one has any. I have check MB and all the other places on and no luck.

I still think I would load what you have and pump the load up to 6 grains of Unique. I think you will see better results.

Who is the maker of those bullets? If they are 15 and higher hardness you shouldn't have leading issues as long as the lube is good.

Missour Bullet co. they are 18 hard. They have the blue ring around them 1/2 way down.

I understand what you are talking about. I live in a rural area and there is no .357 ammunition or reloading components anywhere around here. One shop got a shipment of Winchester white box .38 specials in but were priced at $70 per box. NO THANKS!

You also mentioned the black at the top in your original post. Thats common occurrence using Unique especially in 45 Colt
