"There he bought a saddle, a .22 caliber single-shot rifle, and a .45 caliber Business Sharps, a somewhat ligher version of the Big Fity Sharps, the favorite rifle of the buffalo hunters. He already had a 12 bore muzzleloading shotgun, so his arsenal was complete, and along with an ax and a few other necessities, he had the basic tools of a frontiersman.~Trails of a Wilderness Wanderer~Andy Russell~
Al Nelson, aka Night Owl Enterprises, catalogs a super 358-135-HP for the 9mm. I've just started loading this in 9mm; works well in .38 Special as cast.
3.2 grains of TiteGroup in 38 Special and shoot away.

Life's biggest tragedy is we get old too soon, and wise too late.
My brother's Ruger likes the Lyman 356-402, which is a conventionally lubed Truncated Cone style boolit. Lee makes a similar boolit which should be just as good.

Ranch Dog Outdoors 100 grain RNFL, sized .356" loaded over HP38
Excellent load and my Taurus 738 eats em up like salted peanuts. Makes nice round holes it the target and all of em are really close together (16 yards).
IMHO, tough load/boolit to beat

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional ! ! !
My buddy gave me a Lee TL365-124-2R and a Lee 356 sizer. I'll try them.
