Got a great deal on some 158 Gr swaged SWC bullets. Anyone have luck using then in 1894 CB. I plan on using 357 Mag cases. and have Unique,2400,231,IMR 4227 for powder.Velocity in not a factor, just want to plink @ 50 yards.

231 would be my choice for plinking.

Or Unique, anything so long as you don't run them very fast. They will probably lead your barrel pretty badly if you run them fast.

Sage advice Jazzman.

Finally got to the range and 5 grains of Unique gave me 1 inch group @ 25 yards. Good enough for plinking.
Thanks for everyone's help.
