I'm using Georgia Arms cast bullets in my Springfield XDM9 and looking to develop a good practice load. These bullets come pre-lubed and sized to .355. They may not be the best, but I use 'em 'cause they're dirt cheap ($28 per 500), so I'm not looking to try any different bullets--I want to find a powder that works with these. Bullet style is LRNFP.
My only qualifications are that it not lead the barrel. I will be using these loads for practice and steel challenge matches.
It would be really nice if there is a powder that also works well for .38 special or .357 magnum with 158 gr. LSWC cast bullets (also from Georgia Arms). I know one powder may not be ideal for both, but I would rather be able to buy one in bulk, save money, and be able to use it for both than buy smaller quantities of optimized powders for each caliber.
Any recommendations?
