I normally load in .357 brass, but this week I'm loading .38 specials with the Hornady 140 LFP 'cowboy' bullet. I have Hornady 140 LFP .357 data and plenty of other .38 special data, but nothing specific for the Hornady 140 LFP in .38 special brass.
I'm pretty sure I'm going with 4.0 grains of HP-38, Win brass and Tula SPP's, but I would like to know what OAL Hornady recommends with that bullet and the range of HP-38 (W231) charges for it.
Thanks.
