I like it in the 9 and 45 acp but was thinking of trying it in the 38 special with 158swc.
Anyone try it and what was your loads and results?

I use it, 5grs behind a 160gr SWC is pleasant and accurate

I used 5.0 grs with 158 gr LEE TL 158 gr RN , accurate and pleasant to shoot . It makes a good " Unique " replacement if looking for one . Regards Paul

Thanks guys,
I loaded up some SNS 158swc on top of
5.0 gr. of CFE Pistol.
Probably won't be able to test them for another week, still layed up from surgery.

Yes, 5 grains of CFE Pistol behind a powder coated 158gr cast SWC worked very well in my Smith 64-3.
