Nosler .38/115 Grain (44835)

Winterhawk56 · August 9, 2009, 02:35 PM

Ok I made a mistake and ordered the Nosler .38 caliber 115 grn bullet and have nothing to load it in. I do not have a .38 super and failed to REALLY look at the application of this round. The damage is done and now I have 250 rounds with nothing to load it in.

Realizing I am a BIG advocate of utilizing reload manuals only but that being said, my question is:

1. Is there qualified reloading data out there to load this round in a .38 special and or the .357 magnum? I can find none?

2. Has anyone ever loaded the 115 grain in a the .38 or .357 and how does it shoot?

If not I would consider giving them to someone that will be able to use the round in the Southern California area, if no qualified reloading data exists?

You can shoot 9mm bullets is thirty-eight or 357 magnum cases. It won't be as accurate as 357 or 358 sized bullets, but it works. Check a reloading manuel for a powder load.
