EDIT: .38sp cases loaded for a 20" Rossi .357 M92. You will make a mess if you shoot these through your revolver. Farina+Cylinder gap = splatter. C&B guys expect it, but it could be a suprise out of your S&W...

.357 sized 180gr Keith SWC, BHN-6, Alox lube, primed 38sp cases (primer unknown).
Loaded on Lee Hand Press, std crimp.
.3cc Lee Dipper Powder (aprox 5gr 3F vol.)
1.0cc Lee Dipper Farina for compressible filler.
2 loads each, shot across Chrony @ center hold POA @ 50yd sighting bull. No particular care taken for accuracy. Just line it up and clock it.
777: 505fps, 101ftlbs
4F: 480fps, 92ftlbs
3F: 459fps, 84ftlbs
Goex Pinnacle: 428fps, 73ftlbs
APP/Shockey’s Gold 401fps, 64ftlbs.
Oddly enough all 10 shots effectively made a 4” group 6” low. No ears needed. This will make an excellent "save your hearing" woods/squirrel/possum/coon load. While I didn’t bring my 96/22 to compare with these seemed quieter than what I remember of the heavy Aguila SSST 60gr loads and, while outdoors, only slightly louder than .22 Colibri’s fired in my concrete basement.
I think they would all take small critters rather nicely, so I loaded up 50 with Shockey. :mrgreen:
Not as much poop, but I gotta use it somehow. :roll:
