WST in 120gr 38 Spl ?

[Evil Dog]

Been blindly surfing around for the past hour or two looking for data concerning using Winchester WST with a 120gr RN cast bullet (Lyman # 358242) in 38 Spl. Have found just about everything but. Any of you using WST with this lighter bullet?

I have not use the same boolit as yours, but I load two different boolits with the same weight as yours with 3.3grs. of WST

These are little target & Cowboy Action (SASS) loads.

I have had excellent accuracy with these two loads and they are clean burning with low smoke.

Lyman # 358345 mold. (Boolit weight 120gr.)
Lead alloy: WW air cooled.
Sized to .358".
Lube: Carnauba Red lubed only in the bottom groove.
Powder: 3.3grs. of WST.
