Merry Christmas to all!
Well I'm not sure what to do here.
I am working up a couple of loads for my .38 for my 6" 686.
I have BOTH lead boolits and plated bullets in 125grns and the same in 158grns.
I will be using IMR 700x.
The plated bullets are from Extreme bullets. They (Extreme bullets) will only recommend to use Speer's load info using fmj #'s. I have heard others say only use lead load #'s
for plated.
So I need advice and any safe loads you all may have for these combinations PLEASE.
Next, I am using a RCBS beam scale and not sure of a good way to work up from, say 3.0grns to 3.1grns. It is very hard to tell the difference with such a small increment. Should I work up in larger increments? ex. 3.0grns to 3.3grns?
Any help with loads and scale questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
