Anyone offer some guidance?

I don't have any load data for a 210gr bullet - the book I have handy today has specs for a 220 gr mSPR JSP

CCI large pistol primers are my choice as well - but personally I like Hodgdon Titegroup for a powder on all of my pistol loads. Max on Titegroup for this load is 7.3gr so min is about 6.4gr I'd probably start at about 6.6gr and go up a little depending on how they shoot / feel but I don't think I'd load them over 7.0 gr ( with this combination ).

I don't load too many .41 mag ( as compared to .357 mag or .44 mag ) but I think Titegroup is a pretty clean powder and seems to perform well clear down to a 9mm and up thru the .44 mag Good luck - and have some fun with the new press.

I sometimes refer to a free sight called Steves reloading pages. if i remember you can get to it from Free reloading data. or try the above heading.
Like with any of this kinda info i would suggest working your way up slowly as to the powder charges given.
I had good results with them, but i never went max with the powder chargers.
I do remember his data was for the use of the CCi primers that you were looking for.
Hope you have good luck in this matter. Jack.

Steve's Pages are a great source of information of all kinds.

but can be a little tricky to navigate. This next link is direct to the first page of his reloading data. (Sometimes his loads are a bit on the overwarm side).

I used AA7 for a while before switching to Titegroup. You'll use quite a bit more AA7 for most applications, so that pound of powder disappears rather quickly. This is in addition to the higher sticker price. AA7 *is* good in that with a high-volume load it's easy to spot double loads and squib loads on the tray. But then a good eye (and a flashlight, if your lighting isn't direct down) solves that problem too.

Go with cast bullets and save yourself some green :wink:

I have a nice load for my 657 S&W.
Using the 210 XTP in RP cases over a 19.0gr charge of 2400.
It shoots a very tight shot group. The only draw back is 2400 is not the cleanest powder out there.

Whats the worst that will happen? you will end up getting to shoot a lot of different combos on some nice sunny afternoon !!
