2.7gr of TB is pretty light..................
With a 158gr lead I got my best results with 3.3 and 4.0grs of TB for a light and fac dup out of my 6".
For target loads I also like Red Dot and Green Dot, since they fill the case up a lot better than the faster Bullseye powder, and the chance of a double charge is reduced, big time.
W231 is ONLY used with the little 148wc since it will last longer with the smaller amounts of powder needed.
Sorry got off track............
With a 125gr LFN in a 38 snub nose with TB, I got.........
3.0gr at 543 fps
3.5gr at 597 fps
with a 125 RN "Cowboy design" bullet: medium heavy crimp
3.3gr at 600 fps
All accurate in the snub nose and should be even better in your 6" barrel.
Good loading.
