Vihtavuori load data for Win silver tip 145 grain, .38/.357

[khpe]

I have fail to find reload load-data for .357 magnum and 38 special loaded with Winchester 145 gr STHP bullets.
I have only access to Vihtavuori N320, N330, N340 and N350 powder.

Do anybody have a good safe load for this.


Reagards, khpe

Did you try their website? They have a down loadable reloading guide available there. Altho it doesn't list a 145grainer, it does have info for 140s and 158s. It should give you a place to start if you cannot find any other info.

If you right click the link and "save target as", you can save their guide for later reference.

PS.
Its an accepted practice to use load data from a heavier bullet.

Take it for what it is worth. I advise you to always verify loads taken from private individuals on the internet before using.
