[QUOTE="okierider, post: 3194379, member: 41708"] So my snubbie shoots high and reading up I run into get a lighter bullet. Would rather stay with the 158 LSWCHP . I think to get POI down I need to get a faster burning powder than W231, so I was thinking trying tightgroup. Anybody see any problems with my idea or have another option? Heavy bullet +slow powder+light charge = higher POI Light bullet+ Faster Powder+ heavy charge=Lower POI I have loaded up to 4 grains of 231 and that shows no drop in POI, while I am showing zero pressure issues Hogden shows 3.7 is max and another source shows 3.9 and a couple of loading forums have people going to 4.2 -4.5. Not wanting to go past 4 grains with this non +P pistol. [/QUOTE]
