    Low Velocity Data?

    I'm looking for reliable "mouse-fart" load data for .357/.38sp loads. BP or Sub.

    Specifically, I'm looking for loads that will lope out of a 20" barrel at 700-800fps using 158-180gr boolits.

    This is not for competition, but critter control.

    Try 15 grains of FFg and a felt wad, that might do it. Remember that FF will shoot a little dirtier than FFF. If the felt wad wont take up all the space you need just use a grease wad to fill the rest.

    I have had good luck with COW as a filler in my 44-40.Fills the space,no wad or cookie.Need to use a good BP lube though.I just verry lightly compress the load with the boolet.
    If shooting,fixing,making and thunking were easy.Everyone would be doing it.

    justifiable, and praiseworthy.
