Ok I dont have a chronograph, load manual, or scale all I have is dippers and a Hodgdon catalog. I'm loading XXX Hp-38 with a 250gr LRN bullet. The catalog says 7.1 grains is max but thats in the cowboy loads section. In the regular section they dont have any loads listed for the 250 LRN. With 7.1 grains it should be going 916fps. So how fast do you think its going with XXX and is it safe? I've shot around 100 rounds with this load which I really like and the cases are fine they actually fall out of the cylinders nicely and show no signs of high pessure. So can anyone tell me if I can increase the powder safely? I'd really like to get them going around 1000fps if possible.
