    Hi, tomorrow I will receive some RMR .357 smiley which as you are a FMJ at 147 gr. I have a jug of enforcer which. I would like to use but there is very little data at that weight, FMJ for such load. I have been able to extrapolate what would be a starting point but thought I would ask here.
    Have any members done such? Any information is greatly appreciated.

    Are you asking about 357 Sig or 357 Magnum?

    Head over to the Hodgdon reloading data center. I selected 357, then checked the boxes for Ramshot and Enforcer in the selections. I left the bullet selection blank.

    They don’t show a 147 grain load with Enforcer but they do show a 140 and 158 grain load.

    140 grain- Starting load is 14.4 grains Enforcer, 16.0 Max

    I would start a little less, say 14.0 grains and work up from there.

    Finally ready to go. The OAL of both the 140 and 158 is 1..590. I see no reason to not use the same even though different bullets. Wrong?
