Been doing tons of reading on this site the last few months, as well as reading a few manuals. Finally worked up my first loads and wanted to get everyone's blessing before I go and shoot them for the first time.

I'm reloading .38 with PowerBond 125 gr. FP on top of 4.4 grs. of Universal and a CCI #500 SPP.

COL is 1.448'' with a variance of about .003 from round to round.

I'm using a Dillon XL650 with Dillon Dies.

I will be firing out of a .357 GP100 4''.

Does anyone see any glaring issues or concerns? I've only made 10 so far as a test batch before I start working up the load to the point where I am comfortable cranking out a few hundred at a time.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback, so far this site has been a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to learning as much as I can.
