This is for a nice Eastern Arms hammerless break top revolver I’ve had for years. Have 160 pounds of different smokeless powders so surely one of you guys has a good load for this that I can use. Thanks in advance.

jarhead,

I'm thinking we need a bit more than bullet weight to zero-in on any meaningful load data. Specifically and at a minimum what caliber and bullet shape/design.

I don't mind giving load data ... but Good Lord how about a little information on what round you are seeking data for .
110 grains , lead and S&W tells me nothing ... meet me halfway on this ... how about a caliber ... 32 S&W ...
38 S&W ... something ...
In reloading ... sometimes Details Matter BIG Time !

Oh crap, forgot the 38...... Brain freeze. 38 S&W.

For 38 S&W, 2.0 Bullseye, 2.0 Unique, 2.0 231. You may have to adjust up or down to get the accuracy you want. A 110 boolit is a little under weight for a 38 S&W, it may shoot a little high to the sights.

Thank you sir.

More likely a light projectile from a handgun will shoot low. Less recoil impulse. That's the theory anyway.

You are probably right, although a 105 gr 38 caliber boolit in my 92 Rossi shoots high. Probably, because of the longer barrel.

Rifles and pistols follow totally different rules when it comes to projectile weight. Its almost like comparing American League baseball to Rugby.
