.38 Special 200 grain...

[Andy Griffith]

I just received some 200 grain LRN hard cast .358's from Magnus Bullets over in Alabama.

I have had some swaged lead 200gr. bullets that I have been shooting some for quite some time, and I usually load them with Unique, but I can't remember how much...as it is unavailable at the time...

Does anyone have a specific load that has worked well with these particular bullets? Either +P or non +P?

Seems that some of the older posts on the subject seem to have "rolled off" the board into obscurity.

My 45th Edition Lyman Manual has this for Unique: 3.0 Min. and 4.1 Max. They list the Accuracy Load as 3.6 grains and the Factory Duplication Load as 3.8 grains for 703 fps. The above loads where fired in a Model 14 with 6 inch barrel and velocities were from 572 fps to 772 fps. Hope this helps........Creeker
