I just picked up a S&W model 36 snubnose last early last week and shot it yestiday. It hurts after shooting a few though it. Since it and my model 10 was made in the 60's, I would like to work up some light loads for them.
Currently I'm using 3 grains of Bulleye and 158 grain LSWC Bullet. I know with slow burning powders it isn't safe to use light loads. But what would be the smallist charge I can safely use with Bullseye?
Before telling me to use a diffente powder and/or bullet weight. I have over a pound of Bullseye and well over 1000 peices of 158 gr bullets. I want to use these up first. However I still would like to have the data.
