Arch Angel had the the best info on this thread. Do your homework!! Blogs are great for very general data and OPINIONS. The best thing you can do for yourself and your hand guns is research for your caliber. Find powder and bullet weight for your application. Then get some ideas from the blogs. Then sit down at the bench, roll up a few test loads (go light) then go to the range.The beauty of loading is developing individual load to your liking. Other than that I use Herco in my magnums with good results. Just a bit harder to find than some.
