    I'm beagling my 358429 mould

    Mr. John Goens sent me a strip of the tape he uses and it came in the mail this morning.
    I've read his report on this bullet with 6 grains Unique in a 38 special case and I've been loading it but with a 358477 150 grainer.
    It is a shooter for sure. (NO, I WON'T ARGUE THE SHORT-LONG CASE DEBATE AT ALL!)
    The 358429 does very well in my S&W 686 4" with 7 grains Unique in a 357 mag case.
    Thank You, Mr. Goens.

    BOY HOWDY !!!

    That 6.0grs of Unique in a .38Spl case, under a 168gr SWC is definitely a .38/44 or a +P+ load.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    In what? It's not the poison, it's the dose. The issue isn't using one, it's using many!
    +p max is 4.5

    I have an old manual out in the shed that calls 6 grains a +P.

    That was loaded for a .38/44 load and does well in the .357s./beagle
