lead cowboy bullets for .38 Spl/.357 Mag. Anybody have a load range using Win231 powder for either or both of these calibers? I've found data for 141gr lead wad cutters and 135gr cast LRNFP bullets. I am wondering if the same data can be used with these bullets.

I plan to be casting my own 140gr boolits soon. I just have to find my melting pot and a good heat source. Thanks for any information.

4 grs in the 38 has done well for me it's light.
i'd start there in the 357 also.
you cannot push those hornady's very hard.

Thanks runfiverun. I'll start there and work either up or down as the load indicates.
