I took this info from a post by
dprice3844444, Feb 8, 2012 HERE
I changed the shape of the bullet to RNFP ( from LSWC or LRN )
I'm using 158 grain RNFP Xtreme cast lubed
I have Clays Unique, Trail Boss and HP38
( also wish I didn't have WST but I do )
In BOLD below I have what I would load using my best experience with other 158 gr .357 handloads.
I'd like to know ...
Has anyone else loaded any of the BOLD data below or close to that using these bullets for .357?
I want to load up a bunch of cast bullets for target shooting, I don't care to have a cannon load, just want to sharpen up on my revolver skills.
Any red flags here? Same data here on Hodgdon page except no data for Unique.
I'd rather use my Trail Boss up, save my Unique, I can use up the Clays in 45 acp and HP38 is always good for 9mm and 40 S&W so I can hang onto that.
I'd like to get rid of this WST, but I find no data available, and probably for good reason.
Thanks
