Anyone have any good loads worked up for this boolit?
mine are cast from 50/50 WW-pure. Lubed with BAC.
Will be shot from a 4" Taurus Tracker .357Mag.
2400, 296 maybe?

Waco I use the 358156 HP in my marlin 94C.I use H110 to about 1700fps. from the 18 inch barrel. out of ACWW it is a good boolit for varmint.I have two pins for it a cup point and a large Hollow point pin.

12.5-13.5 gr 2400 in 38 brass. IIRC you can go higher in 357 brass, up to near 15.0 if memory serves.

I have used 13.5 gr of 2400 seated in the lower crimp groove in 38 special brass. Shoots well in my Marlin and my gp100. Did not chronograph.

i don't have the h/p version but the reg semi w/c shoots great with 4.5 grns ,unique out of my wifes new ruger l.c.r 38+p, she can put 5 holes in a 2" group at 15 yds.
which in my book is good enough to send the bad guy's to another place.:evil::Fire::twisted:

You might want to give Blue Dot a try also, Lyman has good data in the last 2 manuals (I don't have the new one yet). With that alloy (a good one BTW) 1200+ fps will give expansion out to reasonable ranges for the 4" barrel.
