I am new to reloading, and decided on a Lee Classic Loader to make my first rounds on. I also bought a scale and other necessities.
After making some cowboy loads for plinking, I am attempting to make some more powerful loads for my Uberti El Patron. I'm aware that it's not a ruger and can't handle anything insane.
Basically, I could use some help understanding where my "cutoff" point would be in my loading.
I use trail boss and hp38.
Hp38 is listed 5.8 grains to start with and NEVER EXCEED 7.3. Does that mean a 7.3 load is extremely hot and only something a ruger could handle?
5.8 feels like I'm shooting a .22 pistol. Would my el patron be okay with a 6.8 or so? Thanks for the help!
