the last couple of years. We have posted pics of 2 guns in 356 GNR today and have several more in the order book. A great cartridge on just about any North American animal with minimal recoil. In fact we have sold out of 356 GNR dies just since Saturday, but have another big batch coming.

Worked for me in Africa too...One shot Impala kill...

Other GNR calibers. I get well over 1500fps with 158gr jacketed bullets from my 6” GNR-Black Hawk. I’m getting in the 1300 with 180hr XTPs and I’m sure I can get a bit more if I try.

Anyone want to share their favorite loads???

It was my favorite GNR Caliber for years...

Still close to the top. The 250 GNR has taken the top slot at this point.

I have the 356 GNR in revolver, G2 12" and Rolling Block Rifle. It works great in any format. I especially like the 180 grn XTP.

Must have been with good reason why Lee liked the 356 too

the 147 grain 9mm bullet. He drove it at hyper speeds and did very well with it.

Lee's favorite semi auto cartridge was the 357 Auto Mag.

and not surprising his favorite revolver or TC cartridge was the 356 GNR as they were almost identical in power and ballistics.

125 grain bullet at over 2000 fps


140 grain at almost 1900 fps

158 grain at nearly 1900 fps

180 grain at 1700 fps
and these are out of a revolver. Add at least 250 fps if in a TC.

Gary ... can you share these loads?
