Anybody know a source for info for this bullet? Thanks for any help you can give.(loading in 38 & 357 cases - target loads).

Tom, a safe way to do it is to use data for 125 SWC bullets. The lighter bullets will have a lower pressure than the 125's.

Data for bullets like the Lee 105 is awfully scarce. I had the mold at one time and you could make 38's as quiet and soft shooting as 22 lr with them. They were also pretty accurate for me. Good luck.

Hsmith - Thanks for the info- I think that's what I'm going to have to do as I have found no loads anywhere for this bullet. It's encouraging what you told me about the round though as that is exactly what I'm looking for, a soft shooting accurate bullet.
