I have a little less than a 1/2 pound of AA#2 that I'd like to shoot up; and I have a bunch of the Lee 357-150-SWC which weigh in at 146 grns sized and lubed. Can't seem to find any load data for AA#2 and a 146 grn SWC.

Any suggestions?

Close enough to Bullseye and WW 231 you can use their data.

Thanks Art. Was wondering the same but it's always good to get a confirmation.:)

3.5-5 depending on what your looking for.

I've used 3.0-3.5gr. AA#2 Improved with that bullet with good success - at ~725-800fps in a 4" M-15 S&W. You can load up a bunch with what you've got remaining.

AA#2 "Improved" it is.

Looks like 3.5 grns should do just fine. Gun is a 6" Model 14 Smith & Wesson.

Thanks for all the advice, gents. :Fire:
