Re: Reloading .357 Magnums Today
I got a 1lb bottle, liked it so much I bought an 8lb'er. My Henry 41 mag loves it, 210s at 1800+fps and 1 hole 50yd groups.
It's good in my hornet, bee, 41 , and 410 as well as the 450BM.

Is the choke still stuck? Try sticking it muzzle down into a container and soak it in acetone. If it's just stuck from plastic wad build up it should loosen up.
