Nice, but I have googled the subject, and Alliants site states nothing on a plated bullet. Lymans and Hornady, no data on the plated bullet and Red Dot, Lees also has no plated bullet data for red dot. Kinda why I was checking in over here, looking for guys that may have already worked up a load for it.
Guess I will get a Chrono on the way. I will post the data on the 5.3, it certainly does not feel hot and there are no signs of pressure in the casing, but you never know. I know feel is not the best way, but sometimes its what we have, problem is with that 6" barrel it absorbs a lot of the "feel". All I know is my grouping is best at that load. And yes I also feel safe shooting them from a .357, as opposed to a .38.
Thanks any way, I will start at 3.4 and work my way up.
