JeepInSoldier,
Here is my 2 cents with this load - now these are "every day target loads", nothing close to or over the top mind you.

Bullet - 158g LSWC (your choice)
Powder - Winchester 231 @ 4.0g
Powder range - 3.4g up to 5.0g (LEE revisied 8th Edition)
Burn Rate - #29 (Hodgdon)
Primer - Winchester WSP
Bullet seating OAL - 1.580"
Velocity - 744.5 fps
Test gun - S&W 357 mag. model 28-2 w/6" barrel

This load is a soft shooting & accurate load (tested out to 50 yards) again nothing to write home about but easy on the wrist and fun to shoot all day.

Just some FYI... have fun and be safe
