Anyone use WSF in 38/357 cowboy speed loads?

A swap left me with a bunch of Missouri Boolit 140gr TCFN--(12 BNH) for 38/357. Same trade got some some WSF (Winch Super field) and Red Dot. I load sissy loads of 650-750 FPS 38/357. Photo of boolit attached.

I could fall back on Bullseye or Clays but wonder in anyone has used WSF in 38/357 slow speed cowboy type loads? I searched and saw some mention of it but of course, no mention of this particular use. WSF is mentioned in a Winchester load book I have but at 1100+ fps.

Anyone use WSF for thIs or similar?

The Red Dot would be perfect for the cowboy loads at around 3 grs. The WSF will work well and in the .357/38 spl tracks Herco data very closely. If you use 4 grs of WSF with that bullet you will be in the 700-800 fps range.

The Red Dot will work better. Save the WSF for loading +P's and .357 Magnums with heavy lead boolits (use Herco load data if you can't find data for WSF.)

Huh???4dogs sent me a PM asking what the "graphics" under my signature line meant. I gave him the 5 minute text message in a PM but included the pictorial display here in one of his posts since I could not send it in a PM.

Sorry for the confusion all.
