RMR 147 gr Smiley loads for .38 Spl / .357 Mag

[hunt127588]

I just picked up some RMR 147 gr Smileys. I plan to load them in .38 Special and .357 Mag. Would you mind posting your loads? I plan on using the Speer 146 gr data as a guide.

I have a note saved that references using
Hodgdon Data for 146/gr Speer Jacketed Hollow Point) 357 mag and HP-38 Powder.

I believe I saved it from a previous topic.

Do a search. You should find a few that address your 147 Smiley request.

The only time I tried using 9mm bullets in 38 Special or 357 cases, I had trouble with neck tension. I could push the bullets in by hand. That was just my one experience.

These are .357 dia bullets, not .355.
