I'm not a heavy handgun user, just for plinking and kicks and only cast bullet's. My favorite bullet's in 38 have been 148gr solid base wadcutter and 150gr Keith type bullet's. I don't see any reason why good 38 spec loads wouldn't work in the 357 case. I think in the 357 case I would put a filler ove the powder though. If I could have any powder I wanted, it would be Bullseye. 2.5 grs in a 38 is exceptionally mild and accurate. My next favorite was Red Dot but it is pretty dirty burning. Like that powder because I have a lot of it but would never use it in an auto of any kind, filthy burning. A powder I had good luck with with the 150gr bullet was 700X. Presently I'm using a 155gr cast HP, Lyman # 359499. Doing well with HS-6 and Super Balistite. Assuming you could find Super B, I interchange Bulls Eye data for it.
I also had some Herco loads but never liked them much.Last edited on Sat Oct 17th, 2009 05:53 PM by Don Fischer
