I say it is an experiment because I'm going to be loading at least some of them in 357 cases to use with a 7-shot titanium revolver - as well as some in 38 special cases for my older M60.

In my J frame snub nose with the Speer 158 LHP bullet......
I could get 800fps with Red Dot powder and w231 powders.
Bullseye did not make it with my full load per my data sheets.
If you have some Green Dot, Unique or Blue Dot the "FBI Load" can be reached but I like just 822fps in the light J frame.
K frames wil handle the "Real deal" all day long.
My 6" can get the Speer up to 1124fps with Blue Dot in a 38 spl. case.
