So I've been contemplating reaming my .357 handi rifle to .358 Hoosier. While looking at the two, I got an idea. And made this...
It's a .358 Hoosier case loaded with a Hornady 158gr .357 XTP. I seated it so the base of the bullet is the same depth as my 180gr SSPS.
Now I am a novice reloader, but in my head. This would work just fine, and allow me to load a hotter charge and really make that bullet zing through the air.
Some questions I have are, if this will work...
Can I seat the bullet deeper and still be safe?
Can I bump up the powder charge and stay safe?
Can I do both simultaneously?
What type of accuracy might be expected from a 1:14 twist barrel?
