148gr LSWC	SNUB-NOSE PRACTICE LOAD. The bullets I use are actually 148 grain button-nose wadcutters. The IMR 800X fills the case well. I load these by hand--with a Classic Lee Loader--the one where you pound with a mallet! Velocity is unknown, but a more experienced friend estimates between 640 to 670fps out of a 2-inch barrel.

158gr LFP	I seat the bullet deeper than normal for looks, mainly. Instead of crimping at the crimp groove, I seat the bullet deeper and crimp lightly, just behind the nose of the bullet. To me, it has a sort of cowboy look. I use Lee dippers to measure the powder. This load is light and accurate in my guns, similar to Alliant Bullseye. In my .357 Magnum Taurus, Model 65 (4-inch barrel) and in my Rossi snubnose .38 special, I can ring the 50-yard gong with this load. It appears to have about 4 to 5 inches of drop at 50 yards.

158gr LRN	SUBSTITUTE WADCUTTER LOAD -- Reverse a LRN bullet, and it cuts nice, clean holes in paper targets, just like wadcutters. Seat with the flat end (base) sticking out of the case just a tad. Accuracy is good enough for 10-yard defense practice in a snubby. (Not a good shape for speedloaders though.) No leading with 12 BRN lead, gas check, and Liquid Alox. Feels like any other 158-grain lead bullet. Due to cleaner, crisper holes in targets, this loading technique makes it easier to see groups without the use of binoculars. * The nose of the bullet will take up some additional space in the case. Please do not exceed 3.0 grains of 700X, as pressures for higher amounts of powder are unknown and may be unsafe for some handguns. Email author: hitrumpetman See all of hitrumpetman's loads
