I was just looking at Hodgdon's site and looking at .357 magnum data I see a 158gr cast lswc as well as a 158gr "mei" cast lswc. They list completely different powder for each bullet type.
So what is the difference between an "MEI" cast lswc and a plain ole' cast lswc? Is the "MEI" a hard cast bullet, maybe 18bhn vs 12bhn? Or is it a particular brand of bullet?
Additional note: Both listings are under .357 magnum pistol loads, so I'm pretty sure one's not a designated rifle load.
Thanks,
chris
