Mr. John Goens sent me a strip of the tape he uses and it came in the mail this morning.
I've read his report on this bullet with 6 grains Unique in a 38 special case and I've been loading it but with a 358477 150 grainer.
It is a shooter for sure. (NO, I WON'T ARGUE THE SHORT-LONG CASE DEBATE AT ALL!)
The 358429 does very well in my S&W 686 4" with 7 grains Unique in a 357 mag case.
Thank You, Mr. Goens.

BOY HOWDY !!!

That 6.0grs of Unique in a .38Spl case, under a 168gr SWC is definitely a .38/44 or a +P+ load.

It sure shoots good.

It sure shoots good.
In what? It's not the poison, it's the dose. The issue isn't using one, it's using many!
+p max is 4.5

I have an old manual out in the shed that calls 6 grains a +P.

That was loaded for a .38/44 load and does well in the .357s./beagle
