I found a box of 160 gr RN lead measures .357 on the bearing surface. I have two S&W snubbies one will tolerate +P the other won't. Does anyone have a suggestion on powder that will work for both. Thanks to All for reading. Sunfish

Probably cant go wrong with 3 gr. of bullseye. Not a recommendation, but works well for me and is cheap.

Lyman 358-311 over 3.6 grains WW-231, 4.0 grains Unique, 3.4 grains bullseye--all work about the same for me in my snubbies. These loads may hit a bit high, but nothing too extreme, velocities will be low as will pressures. I shoot such loads frequently with perfect confidence and satisfaction, with the WW-231 getting the nod simply because I always have it on hand.
