I've had great results from HP38/231/with 158g SWC & FRN in both 38 & 357 mag at 900 to 1100 fps in 5.5" barreled m627. They work very well also in Ruger Vaquero and Security 6.

I've used comparable recipe for velocity/accuracy for Tite Group. Prefer the HP38/231 for slight edge in accuracy.

Looking for 357 Mag load for 158 SWC lead @ 1200+. Older manuals sure have hotter loads than newer ones. Have misplaced Skeeter's 2400 data, but IIRC that was for JHP not lead.
