I'm working this up for a potential 38 special only gun. Just checking accuracy, pressure, etc in the 357 first before working it up in a 38 special.

Do you get leading in your "FBI900+" load?

re leading--for various reasons, I have not really sorted out my load data for leading--e.g., tried various crimps, etc. Generally, I do get leading using a typical BHN 11-12 lead bullet bought commercially.

This year I expect to do a lot more shooting and will have some stronger impressions--overall, though, my favorities power for this kind of intermediate-pressure load is True Blue.
