? 357 Mag Titegroup load data 125 gr Remington SJHP Load Data

I just bought 500 .357 125 gr Remington sjhp bullets for my 4" SS Ruger GP-100. I was looking up load data and am only finding info for the Hornady XTP. It is listed on the Hodgdon Website as follows (below), as well as in Lee's Modern reloading. Titegroup is not listed in Lee's Modern Reloading 125 gr jacketed section at all (only in his XTP section). I also looked through my caliber specific manual with no luck finding Titegroup for 125 gr jacketed bullets. I read in Lee's book that the XTP is longer due to it's hp and that load data differs for the XTP as compared to regular jacketed bullets. Below is the load info from Hodgdon's website. Has anybody had any experience with Titegroup and 125 gr jacketed bullets? Do you think this info would work with Remington 125 gr sjhp bullets for 357 mag? Does Remington put out a load manual? It seems like they would since they have so many components, but I can't recall reading about it anywhere.


125 GR. HDY XTP
Titegroup .357" 1.590"
start load 6.8 1425 36,500 CUP
max load 7.5 1497 41,200 CUP

if you look on the next page in your lee book
it says you can go to 7.0 max with a 140 gr xtp
you can als go as low as @3.5 with some loads so you should be good
with the rem 125
i have never seen a rem load data pamplet
unlike winchester used to but then again remington does not release powder
in canister form either
but iirc they use hodgon or imr powder.

These are full power loads, If you want to see what reduced loads are applicable use cowboy load data. Don't use loads any lower than starting loads listed for the medium or slow burning powders like H110 or WW296 or hang fires may happen.

Looking at the data for 125 and 140 grain jacketed bullets it's safe to say you could start between 6 - 6.5 grains of Titegroup and work from there if you're the cautious type but there's no reason not to use the XTP data for this powder, it's very forgiving. Use standard pistol primers with Titegroup, they're softer and will show pressure signs sooner. Titegroup's burn rate is similar to Bullseye... be extremely cautious to check for double charges in the cases before seating bullets.

The GP100 is a very strong, well made revolver; my 6" is super accurate with Sierra 170 JHC's.

Have fun,
