Okay, let's have some fun. My dad received a LCR 38 for Christmas(you're level one Dad!) am done it's time to get him some carry ammo.
I normally load my dad 158gn LSWC over 3.5 gm of WST. Great and accurate load. He is looking for more fire concealed carry. Let's start off with a few caveats:
1. He is not interested in hollow points, prefers the LSWC.
3. Yes, we are handloading carry ammo. No debate, it is what it is.
So, continuing, he will be shooting this from a snubby LCR. Powders can be most anything as I have access to most decent powders.
What has provided you with the highest velocity with this bullet weight? +p is ok, but not looking to push the envelope with this.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm inclined to go with power pistol, as the flash doesn't bother myself or my father.
