I have had good results with the following load, among some others tried. WORK UP FROM BELOW, WITH CARE!!!!

3.6 grains Red Dot, Starline cases, for the most part, Winchester Small pistol primers, NOT THE MAGNUM PRIMERS. OAL .970-.975, Bullet is hard cast, sized .365".

Pistol used is one of the Russian guns. Also used the same load in a Radom P-83. Seems fine in that pistol also. No signs of excess pressure in either pistol.

Have not chronographed, but suspect that this is NOT a "midrange" load.
