Thanks for the great replies.
Hadn't thought of averaging the loads but I started out with 4.7
grains....the average came to 4.8--pretty close. 4.7 chronographs at 795 out of my LCR ....not bad....might move up in 10th grain increments and hope to get up to 850 fs or so by the time I reach 5 gr.
Nice old PP Erich! I've got a '27...a reblue but a sweet old gun.
I go easy on it--3.3 gr of Trailboss/158gr SWC....light load that shoots to point of aim.
I'd like to try that 173 gr. Keith bullet. Do you cast them or buy them? My casting gear has been in mothballs for 30 years but guess I could break it out....
