The 3.5 grains Bullseye loads show just how much pressure can jump up with the lower useable volume of a wadcutter boolit. I find 3.1 grains is a sweet shooter with my Lyman slugs.

Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
My expectation was somewhere in the 16-18000 PSI range for the 3.5 Bullseye load, As verified by Outpost75 and a look in my own copy of the quoted book.
A suggestion that may or may not make sense, but will save the cost of a new barrel. What about deep seating the WC to the same length in .357 Magnum brass? This assumes (really don't like doing that) that this is possible without case thickening getting in the way.

Larry, have you been able to revisit the 3.5 Bullseye load?
Larry. Will pack and send Remington HBWC bullets. Also some Magtec 158 LRN.
Sorry for the delay. I simply forgot!
