I shoot the 357 Maximum cartridge in both a 10 inch and a Super 14 barrels on my Contender.

Here is my best load for hunting:

Bullet: 214 grain LSWC, Gator or Hornady Gas Check, sized to .358, Lyman Mold # 358627

Powder: IMR-4227 Start load 11 grains, MAX load 14.7,

My hunting load: is 12.5 grains of IMR-4227

Remington Brass, CCI Small Rifle Magnum Primer.

I generally use the Super 14 barrel for hunting, I get a velocity of about 1,300 fps.

If I have to use the 10" barrel due to some law, I think the velocity is around 1,150 fps.
