    Been using WST in 9 , 40 s+w , 45 and since it still is in the hopper , thought I would try it out in 38 special and 357.
    Have yet to do the 357 , a little short on brass , have to find some , but put 2.8 gr in the 38 with Miha's 359640 hp and was surprised at how accurate in my 586 , went up to 3.1 gr and is very nice load combo but like Exile stated , a chrono would be so nice to have ...
    Thought about using the 3.1 gr in the 357 with the boolit set back to the second crimp groove when I get the chance ,
    Any opinions on the process so far ?
    The 586 and MIha's boolit is working out great as time goes on ....

    Digger - I've been using 3.5 grains of WST with Lee RFP that casts to 163 grains for a long time through a Smith K-38. Very nice load. Same load woks well in my GP100 in .357. Haven't used WST in .357 cases though.

    Would 4.4gr of Unique with a 158gr LSWC work for a very mild load for the wife?

    We just loaded and shot a lot of NOE360477 150gr. Boolits over 5.0 gr Reddot in .357 brass.
    They shot great!
