Full load...equals the original .38-44 load...
Home cast Lyman/Thompson 357156 with 6.0 grains of Unique. Have both the original Lyman mold, a MP Mold that can be used solid, HP and PentaPoint as well as a MP aluminum mold that is a non-gascheck.
Runs in the mid-900s from a 649 2" to 1140 from a 4" Heavy Duty. It is just a little slower than the Outdoorsman load in solid and HP from Buffalo Bore.
For just target shooting and plinking, 4.0 of 700-X with most any 150-160 SWC works great and is cheap...

ps...as far as the SAAMI limits go...can someone please tell me why a J-frame can be chambered in 9mm at over 30k psi but everyone wets their underwear when someone goes to 26k in a .38 Special in the same gun...what am I missing?
