I have been loading Lee 358-158-RF, sized 358 with White Label 2500+, over 5.0 gr HP-38. It takes Jackrabbits apart at 75-100 yds. Barrel cleans easy with no leading. Today ran 10 rds over my ProChrono. 1148 - 1198 FPS. I have the 24" Octagon barrel. Anybody else running this load?

I've been shooting that boolit in my Marlin 1894 over 6.3 grains Unique for quite awhile with similar results. A .357 lever action with cast is the most fun and useful thing I can imagine!

I use the Lee 125 RNFP over 5.3/231 from my Rossi 20" carbine and it runs about 1220 fps.

I do the same as Fecmech. Love the 125's in the Rossi, over 5.2-5.3 of HP38. 5.4 of Unique is pretty special too.

Same boolit out of my Marlin over 14 of 2400 1700fps and accurate. Turned a squirrel into a pink mist. My Marlin loves it.
