357 Magnum

Starting to load 357 magnum for a Chiappa Rhino 4in barrel. Narrowed powder selection down to either AA7 or 2400. Bullet is Extreme 158gr. All data available, that I have found, is for a 6 or 8 in barrel. Has anyone loaded these? Thanks in advance.

With any plated bullet, load them like lead bullets, not conventional jacketed bullets. Do not apply a significant crimp, as you can crack the plating.
