After looking through every resource I could find on the internet I refer back to where I should have started in the first place - this blog :-).
Does anyone have experience with this cartridge, concerning load data and forming cases from 45 WM cases?
Every help appreciated.
Thanks

YES!!
I LOVE this 357/45 cartridge and have a ton of fun vaporizing things with it.
The 45 Win Mag Brass would afford greater case capacity and I did see and shoot a wildcat with this configuration.
The hangup is in the standard seating/crimp die, as the case is shorter and there's no way to get a crimp on the slug unless you had a custom die made.
I enjoy making the standard brass and find no lack of performance with it. So, I decided it wasn't worth the expense of a new die just to make the brass easier.
Merlin would you be kind enough to share your load data with the ret of us?
Also does anybody have a set of dies that they are willing to part with?
Hallo
mein Name ist Elberskamp
Ich habe das Kaliber 357/45GWM in 6,5Zoll,nehme gekürzte .308 Winchester Hülsen und verforme diese
Zum Laden nehme ich 358 Speer Mantelgeschosse und 20 grain Kemira n110 Pulver
sehr weiche und genaue Ladung
Just adding this in, in case anyone looks this up again. Use 44 automag brass and not the 45 WM brass. The 44am brass will end up the correct length but will still need to be reamed. The 45wm brass will end up too short for a proper 357/45GWM cartridge.
