Gentlemen,
I recently bought 2.5" Model19-5 to be used as a CCW gun. I plan on using Remington mid-range 125 gr. Golden Sabers as a carry load as they shot very well out of a Model 66 3" I had once, (sold in a weak moment of stupidity, haven't we all?). What i'm looking for is a good accurate practice load for this gun using 158 gr. cast bullets with .357 mag cases. I can use either 158 Laser Cast bullets or 156 gr. Keith style RCBS bullets I cast from wheel weights lubed with LBT lube. I prefer to stick with either WW-231, Tight Group, or Universal Clays powder that I have quite a bit of. At practice ranges up to 15 yards or so the loads don't have to be equal to the Remington load but not way below it either. Accurate and fairly close to the Remington load for point of aim if possible. You all know what i'm looking for so give me what has worked for you. Thanks so much for your time and help!!
