Greetings,
Thanks for all those who contributed to my 9mm recipe thread the other day, especially LiveLife.
I’m now setting the die up for .357 mag and 38 sp. And dang it...same issue with the lack of plated bullets on Hogdon’s site.
They only list HDY XTP for 158 gr (and actually I have a few hundred of those so that is fine for those bullets. However, the other two options are “CAST LSWC” or “MEI CAST LSWC.” Per the logic (provided by you all in the other 9mm thread), using lead data for plated bullets was best. So in this instance, for the Xtreme plated 38 or .357 bullets, should I use CAST LSWC?
Or should I go with the HDY XTP load data for the Xtreme Plated bullets?
Thanks!
