I shoot mostly 185 and 200 and occasionally the 230 gr JHP. I don't care much for LSWC's because of the leading-cheap for sure but, I don't like using the Lewis Lead Remover every time I come back from the range.

Hodgdon explained: Many people have tremendous brand loyalty and would swear that W231 is the greatest thing since sliced bread and HP-38 is junk. And vice versa. But they are exactly the same power manufactured in the same plant but packaged differently.
