Looking for an excuse to load up a bunch of 357 Magnum cases I have. I have a Taurus 38/357 with a 2" barrel - I've only been loading 38 Special for it, but am interested in seeing just how accurate a loading I can get going in it, so have been considering getting some HBWC bullets to load.
I have about a pound each of HP-38, BE-86 and Power Pistol (fastest to slowest). Looking at the Lee manual, there is a HP-38 load quoted for the HBWC in 38 Special - would the starting load for 38 Special be too low a starting load for the same bullet/powder in 357 Magnum? I've read "bump you starting load by 10%" for using changing from 38 Special to 357 brass.
Anyone aware of published load data for 148g HBWC in 357 Magnum?
