358-125-RF. 1.060" OAL
3.8 gr. Autocomp. A little unburned powder. 4 shots 2 3/4" group at 30'.
3.9 gr. Autocomp. No unburned powder. 3" group.
Wind was so strong it blew my target frame over 3 times. Not exactly 1 ragged hole but considering the conditions not bad. Good news, no leading.
Still a work in progress but I'm on my way.
I had some loads loaded with Unique but after the frame blew over the 3rd time I had had enough. Thanks to all that have helped me.:drinks:

Sounds like you're makiny progress. What did you size the boolits to? Which lube were you using? What did you shoot them through? I have been thinking of buying that mold, its looking like a good performer. Keep up the good work. Frank

Sized with a Lee .357 measures .358. LLA lube. Shot in a S&W M&P 9 Shield.

Power pistol has done good for me with that boolit

Unique should be a good one for that load. Sounds like you are doing
better, bit by bit you will break the code.

Chambering properly apparently. Did you order a 356-120-TC mold?

After post's and PM's from Shiloh I decided not to give up on the 358-125-RF. Shortening the OAL helped with chambering.
