[QUOTE="Honey Badger, post: 3581693, member: 4896"] So I found some powder. Accurate TCM. It says it is/can be used in 357 magnum pistols. Ok.... that’s what I’ll be shooting it out of. However, I am going to reloading 38 spl brass. So here’s my question. I know 38 spl brass can handle pressures up to around 15,000. The 357 magnum can handle pressures around 36,000. I’ll be shooting lead, 158 gr semi wad cutter bullets with brinell hardness of around 14. I have seen 357 load data for this powder. It says 10.3 gr will produce pressures of around 33k. So... if I cut the load down to around 3 gr. I should be able to shoot 38 spl safely and not split brass right? I’m not worried about exceeding pressures for the 357 pistol. I just don’t want split cases and incur problems like that. What say you? Or does anyone have any info on this powder in 38 spl applications? Or even a good load recipe? Thanks [/QUOTE]
