I want to load 140 lead bullet for 38 +p and maybe 357.My guestion is if the specific load such as in Hodgdon manual states 140 gr hdy xtp can I use a 140 grain lead instead for general practice loads? And besides jacketed ammo is purdy to look at but they ain't cheep! If anyone knows of a good load book that is lead bullet specific I'd like to know Thanks
