3.2 TG using a 158gr LSWC is a cream puff load that you will enjoy shooting.

OR

3.2 - 3.5 TG using a 125 plated FP

Shooting them out of my revolvers is nice. Out of the lever action, like shooting 22's.

thanks for the plinker load, i never think to go under the listed minimum - the lyman book says to start with 4 grains of tg under a 125g fp. one of the fun things reloading is trying different loads.

is where i took that data from
Lyman is nice as other load data books too. The variation between Powder mfg , bullet makers and other reference material can be head banging. I use powder data and work up from there. I also take other data, average them and see what results i get. With today's component supply chain sporadic, i use start data as much as i can.

We'll see what the actual end result might be.

it is - we compile all the data available and figure out a start point and do it - i have the lyman, hornady, and sierra books - then i go online and double check everything and find out what the real min/max are

i'm so happy i stocked up on some things before all the stupid happened

Stopped in to say: Hey!

Found our insurance is only going up 40% so that's cool.

40% increase is cool?

I would be pitching a fit.

Sent from my electronic ball and chain.

Heya 10 MM, and HC.........

40% increase is a shitty deal indeed....Lobo, that was either a reference to the Obama crap, OR....just the regular ass humping that we take on stuff. Both ways suck for sure.

All my brass is loaded now...... I need more brass.......
