I understand that the 358429 was designed specifically for 38 Special cases for higher pressure rounds aka 38-44. Why a lighter 158 gr SWC loading was not chosen escapes my logic. The 158 gr was the standard bullet weight for factory 38-44 loadings...and later for the 357 Mag - the 358429 165-173 grs doesn’t seem to fit the role in a 38 Spl, unless of course it is driven to +P+ velocities. The 358429 always performed better for me in higher velocities (and very well at that) and which I would use only in a 357 Mag.
I have a few 358429s with 6.0 grs Unique awaiting chronographing.
Any comments are appreciated.
