New to reloading. I've gone from know nothing to Know little about reloading. Some tell me "Little" is very dangerous.
I just finished my first loads, 38spl, 158gr xtp, w231 powder 3.9 gr.. Mild, less recoil and pretty accurate for me.
I was looking at the small local reloading store for some cheaper practice bullets. They have 158gr, flat point bb. " Hard & Fast lead cast" printed on the box.$55/500.
My data sheet gives 3.1gr as starting point and 3.7gr max using w231.
I don't think I've ever had any dealings with hard cast ammo before.
158gr. with 3.3gr 231 seem to be a good Mild practice load in a snubby revolver?
Only loading 38spl. and probably some 9mm later. No others.
