However, I can (usually, depending on the gun) toss a safety on which 
might give me an extra moment of time should someone manage to get 
their hands on the gun.
Did I tell you I just bought a Dan Wesson .357?  Used, but in good 
condition.  It came with a 6" barrel, I'm going to look for a 10" barrel 
next time the gun show comes around.  Very nice SA and DA trigger, better 
than I thought these things ever got.  
I would have preferred a .357 maximum, but for $250 I could not say no.
A 10" barrel will help matters in this regard though, while still making 
the gun fully useful for mundane chores such as trail use, target, 
teaching, and whatnot.
Now I have to get into .357 reloading, I've got a set of RCBS dies, 
getting a Lee factory roll crimp, 110 & 158gr Hornady XTP bullets on 
order, I may get 140 and 180gr as well, and some swaged 148gr for target.
And of course, some Vihta Vuori N110 powder, slower even than their N350 
pistol powder.  If I try my ultra-light weight jacketed bullets in this 
gun, I'm positive I'll be able to crack the 3000 fps mark, even with the 
6" barrel.  :-)
Question:  At what point shoudl I consider using magnum primers for .357 
loads?   I would assume when I start using large amounts of slow burning 
powders, but can i get away with using regular primers regardless of the 
load?  I would think this might actually resuly in lower pressures in any 
case, given to a more linear progression of power ignition.  Any 
thoughts?
