Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of buying a revolver, but the .357 is just too noisy for me, even with double hearing protection. On the other hand, I want something that has a bit more power than a .38 +P. (Also, even the so-called +P+ loads don't seem much more powerful than ordinary +P.)
I found a nice article on Mr. Stephen Camp's site about mid-level .357 loads:
http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/can_less_be_more.htm
However, I was wondering if someone knew of light loads -- call them ".357 -P."
For example, is there something that will push a 158 grain bullet at 950-1000 fps out of a 4" barrel?
I will probably end up getting into hand-loading anyway, but it would be nice to have some mild factory loads for SD.
Thanks,
Sriracha
