Alright so I'm finally getting somewhere! I got almost everything, just need some primers and a scale and I'm all set! I did a search and nothing really definitive came up so I just decided to start a new thread.
I only have 158gr lead bullets right now, and I was planning on pretty much just sticking to .38 special, although I will be cranking out some .357 Magnum rounds at some point. I'm using Red Dot powder by the way...
What I need to know is what velocity area is alright and won't cause total crap accuracy and excessive leading?
The other thing is the bullets I have are round nose flat points. Can I use the same recipe for normal round nose bullets for this or should I use recipes for semi wadcutter bullets?
And one liiiiiiitle thing on the side; Is a balance beam or electronic scale better? I like the simplicity of the electronic ones and they are around for like $35 or so which sure beats putting out $95 for the RCBS balance beam scale my grandpop has...
