My brother bought a GP100 recently and has been shooting mostly factory ammo through it. Yesterday he gave me 50 cases to try reloading for him. I have a box of Missouri Bullet 125 gr. truncated cone lead bullets, BHN 12, that I bought for practice loads in my J frame. Also have a jug of Bullseye that I need to finish off.

He's looking for mid-level loads. Not purely paper punching, but not full bore screamers either (which I couldn't use these softer bullets for anyway).

I see jacketed 125 gr. data for Bullseye (7.6 gr. start load), and was thinking about starting a grain and a half below that. I'm thinking start at 6.0 grains.

Does this sound reasonable? Anyone else have good luck using Bullseye with similar bullets in the .357?
