Gents,
I just picked up a new to me S&W 25-5 and am looking for recommendations on loading. I have on hand the Lyman Devistator, Lyman 250gr gas check SWC, Lyman 335gr, Lee 300gr, RCBS 230gr CB, a Lee 230gr round nose, and just ordered a Lee 452-255-RF mold. I'm looking to the new Lee mold for large volume of bullets. Does anyone have any experience shooting the 452-255? Likes? dislikes? Anyone have a favorite load for it?
I know the 8.5-9gr of unique is the gold standard and it's what I mostly use in my other 45s.
Any particular loads that shine in the 25?
Recommendations for a good woods load?
Where can I safely load to as upper limits? I know Linebaugh wrote an article but it's nowhere to be read online and his website only lists loads for Rugers.
Any help would be appreciated.
