Black Talon, RIP and the 454 Casull, 45 GAP, 380 ACP and 357 SIG

[PA4476]

Messing around at the loading bench today. Loaded up some 44 mags and 45 acp. Then boredom took over.

Started poking around in my stash. Decided to load up a few that were never offered.

Loaded some odd cases. 454 Casull, 38 special, 45 GAP, 357 SIG and a 380 acp all with Winchester Black Talon bullets.

Also loaded up a 357 SIG with one of those new RIP bullets. I figure the RIP will soon be available in 357 SIG, but I was bored so I pulled one from a 9mm case and loaded in the 357.

Like I said, just bored.

Mr creative

Recon you could push that talon fast enough to expand properly in the 380 ?

I'm gonna say probably not. It's a 147 grain.

Good look. Make those 357 sig black talons in 125 gr. get them to push at 1350 fps out of a 4" barrel and sell them by the box of 50 and you make a fortune.

Could get 1317 fps with IMR 800-X and the 147 grain Black Talon.

Winchester offers the SXT I think it's called that is the same bullet, just not coated in the black lube-o-lox. I don't know if they offer it in 357 Sig or not. Might be worth looking into.

thanks good idea.. Looking into it now.

Also so that's a great load you have worked up in 357 sig. Do you shoot or carry that particular load much? Just wondering how that performs?

Talon bullets look good in the .357 Sig case
