I have a couple hundred 215 grain 358627s on hand. Powders I have in abundance are WSF, PowerPistol, Blue Dot and Longshot. Load data for a bullet like this in .38 or .357 revolver cartridges are almost non-existent, of course.
The LASC page on this bullet has none of these powders. Per that source, I loaded a few with 8 grains of AA#7, which were nicely accurate, but perhaps just a bit spicier than what I want to shoot a lot of in my S&W 19-3, and I also want to save the #7 for other projects.
I'm interested in something that isn't too dirty and comes in just somewhere over the .38 +P range, around the level of a typical medium-powder .357 starting load or a little lower, which would appear to mean 25,000 PSI or a bit under.
My WAG is that 4 grains of WSF might be in the ballpark. Thoughts? Anyone have Quickload, and can it even handle this bullet in .357?
