I received these lubed 158gr lead SWC bullets and would like to make the best out of it. I don't know how hard/soft these bullets are. The revolver is a Ruger 3" SP101 357mag, but I am planning to just stick with a light loading 38spl load that I can enjoy. The load development plan is to test about 4 different loads using one powder, then pick a load and load the rest of them with this selected load. I created a dummy round just to set my dies for this bullet. The COL came out to 1.438".
I would appreciate it if you can help me by suggesting a powder to use, and a bracket or min max load to test. An example will be HP38 with tested loads 3.1g, 3.3g, 3.5g and 3.7g.
The powders I am leaning towards are, HP38, Bullseye, Unique, 700x, W244, Titegroup.
Any help will be appreciated.
