I can't remember how, but somewhere, I have acquired several hundred Hornady 158 gr. SWC and SWCHP bullets. Their #9 loading manual recommends a max of 5.0 gr. Unique in 357 Maggie for its swaged 158 gr. SWC and SWCHP bullets...that's a slightly warm .38 Spl load. "Loads" of fun to shoot, I betcha!

Previously, I have used 5.5 gr. Unique with cast 150 and 158 gr. swc,(860 fps/4" barrel) with complete satisfaction, except for some hard cast commercial bullets that lead extremely! I've gotten rid of most...one by one, downrange.

I have several hundred Berry's 125 gr. plated, and some 125 JHPs of various manufacture, and am going to have to try Trail Boss, and maybe HP38 or Power Pistol "just to see." Does it never end?
