[Bomber]

Anyone with a receipe for cast 105 grain SWC .358 bullets for .38 Special?
Thanks

I believe 2.8 grains of 700X was very accurate. I think 2.8 of Bullseye or HP-38 would be too.

4.0 Unique is a decent load

Lyman 4th edition list 38 Special laods for the Lee 358-105-SWC.

I like that little boolit over Bullseye, shoots great out of my M66 S&W. Very economical too.

There are something like 25 powders between Norma R-1 and Unique. 3.0 of any of them will work just fine.

What charge of Bullseye are you using?

[Jal5]

IIRC it was 4.2 Bullseye, don't have the notebook in front of me. Check this against the Lyman Cast Boolit Handbook. That is out of a 6" M66.

3 grains bullseye.

I use 4.0~4.5 of Bullseye and a poly filler. I have Chronographed with and without---such a light, small bullet with such a small powder charge makes for a huge spread in velocity--the filler solves this probelm. I recall shooting some 110 grain WW Silvertip factory ammo...had the same problem with a sizeable velocity spread...probably for the same reason.

BTW I now use Red Dot---as it is 30% more fluffier than Bullseye. Some have stated it is cleaner burning...

Thanks for the info.

I have some super accurate loads with VithaVuori powders (N320 & N340), if you can get your hands on these powders and want a load, just let me know.

N320 is one of the most versatile powders you can use with pistol loads !
