.357 magnum Taffin loads

COBrad · Thursday at 5:30 PM

Howdy fellow pistoleros, I recently purchased a Freedom Arms model 83 in .357 magnum. I've searched google but can no longer find John Taffins load data. Anyone have it that would care to pass it along?
Thanks in advance.

The old 357 Atomic, which was basically a 357 +P+, was loaded with 16 grains of 2400 under a 158 cast. Hope that helps.

If you go to the Single Actions forum, John is a regular (semi) contributor. He's had some health issues lately but chimes in. If you want to, look up Brian Pierce on this subject.

The FA .353

This should be what you're looking for.

Those model 83's handle similar pressures as some of my 357 Contenders, except for the eventual frame stretching of the old TC's with the extreme loads.
