38 spl and 357

Post by dhollis51 on Mon May 03, 2010 1:51 pm

me and dad are about ready to start loading some and we are starting with 38 special and 357 mag so I need to know what boolit to use? I was told a good hard cast one would be best just for plinking. give me some ideas of what to use. and where else besides Midway can you buy them?

Thanks for the help in advance.

I use a 148gr WC for plinking ...

I do not particularly like the .357 mag. I prefer target loads ina .38 Special with wadcutter bullets. 148 gr wadcutter with 2.7 grains of Bullseye. Do not use Bullseye powder in a .357 case. It can cause tench detonationa nd blow the revolver up.
