Anybody loading this bullet for 38/357? I've got a ton of Red Dot from shotgun days.

Also have Bullseye,Unique.

I'd appreciate any information, advice, etc.

I tried this combination a while ago. I would start at about 4 grains of Red Dot, and 3.5 grains of Unique.

Accuracy depends on what these are sized to. Lee states that the bullet is .358, so I would stick to that sizing. Here is the Lee mold number: MOLD_D_C_358-105-SWC

Just my experience, and all of the safety precations and disclaimers do apply.
