I just got my Encore pistol put together. It is a 358 Winchester cartridge. Barrel is 12 inches-including the muzzle brake. I cast the RCBS 200 grain GC bullet. The cast was done with straight WW. Sized to .358 and Carnuba Red lube.

I have been trying to find a moderate load. Everything I have found has been either light for cast bullets, or heavy for jacketed. I would like to shoot around 1800-2000 fps with my RCBS bullet. I have a bunch OF RL7. I use a bunch of it in my 45-70's. Can anyone recommend a good load with RL7 that would fit my parameters? I was thinking some where between 30-35 grains of powder. Does this sound about right? Tom.
