Load is for a 357
Just bought some Bullseye today and I'm looking to load it mid-range with 158gr lead bullets. Either Speer LSWCHP or xtreme LSWC
Alliant's site has 4.8 gr, I assume that's the max, 10% down is 4.3, so that looks like 4.3 to 4.8.
Layman has for a 160gr Lead (linotype) with a range 4.9-6.9.
Speer's loading manual has 4.3-4.8.
I like using W231 of 4.5 for this bullet, but of course I don't have any. I've also tried N320 at 5.0gr which seems good. But I want to save the N320 for my hotter copper plated loads.
I'm thinking of a ladder of 4.4-4.8 to test out. That's still below the Layman numbers. But I figure Speer knows how to load their bullets, and Alliant pretty much matches Speer.
Why the big difference between Layman and the others? What's your favorite light/medium load with Bullseye?
