158 GR. CAST LSWC Winchester 231 .358" 1.475"
3.1 782 11,900 CUP
3.7 834 14,600 CUP
I recently bought a box of 158gr Cast LSWC and loaded them for the first time (I usually stick with the 148 DEWC (3.2gr) and HBWC (3.0gr). I use W231 and, in researching for a load, found recommendations from 3.1 to 5.0. Settled on the Hodgdon data (mentioned above) and 3.5gr. Shot both DEWC and the LSWC. No difference in accuracy and no leading from either. And a little trimming brings a Lee Dipper to 3.5 gr.
