Can't use lead at my range, so I use Xtreme plated flat nose, both 125 gr and 158 gr. I also use MGN cases, and a load of HP-38 that is between plus P and bottom of MGN. My last trip to the range, 5.0 gr for the 158 gr and 6.0 gr for the 125 gr. My revolver is the 4 inch M686 6 shot. Easy shooting for the M686, and a little snappy in my M640 Pro. I have also used the plated 148 gr WC's. Was very accurate, but seemed to stress my Starline cases with deeper seating depth. I have read that WC's need a different case because of this. But, I did shoot a 1 inch group at 30 feet. My best of the day, but the gun and bullet seemed up to the challenge. I was using 5.0 gr Bullseye, again in MGN cases. I might use heavier loads if this was the only revolver I was loading for, but I have a lot of Arthritis in my wrist and fingers and like to use the same cartridges for my carry gun, the M640 Pro. The 125 gr cost less, about 8 cents instead of 10 cents, a round. I only load some 158 gr to emulate my 158 gr BB LSWCHP non plus P carry ammo for the 640 Pro. The 640 shoots low with lighter ammo, or I would use Speer 135 gr SB and just load 125 gr bullets for everything. Unfortunately, I can't shoot my lead carry ammo at the range, but plated works well for practice. I shot a cylinders worth of the lead and got busted. They could see the smoke on the TV cameras.

Best,
