I have load data for 158 grain lead bullets and Red Dot powder in .38 special, however nothing is listed in my manual for 125 grain lead with the same powder. Do you guys have any suggestions on manuals which list this data? Thanks!
Found it!!!!!!!
Lyman 48th. edition
Well, close enough.
120 gr. slug
3.3 starting, 4.6 max.
And I don't shoot as cast slugs.
All it takes is a small piece of crud , or not closing the mold completely and you will have a larger than normal cast.
You might also look in the 47th Edition Lyman. It has some bullets / loads that aren't included in later editions. I chronographed a Lee 125 RNFP over 4.2 grns Red Dot going an average of 816 FPS out of a 2" barrel.
