2muchgun,
Hodgdon offers the only .357 Mag. rifle reloading data that I'm aware of.
I'm checking it out right now, on some lever action forums, but to my knowledge 400 f.p.s. to 500 f.p.s. can be added to the pistol f.p.s. data for use in a rifle. Since the rifle barrels are 3 times longer (most manuals reference a 6" barrel) and my rifle has a 20" barrel, so this makes sense. However, I would much rather have chronographed data and/or written rifle reloading data vs. rumor and speculation.
Good hunting, Bowhunter57
