[QUOTE="sklfco, post: 3788852, member: 24908"] Short answer, yes either w231/hp38 or the cfe pistol will push a 44 or 41 diameter slug out the barrel of a revolver. The 231 will also swap over to everything else you listed with the benefits of being a ball powder. Down side, you will be restricted to “mid-level” power loads and less in anything with a “magnum” on the end of it. For that extra bit of flash at the muzzle you will need something a bit slower like 2400/h100. Also if you paid extra for the magnum primers it won’t help much with the 231 speed powders. But I get the need to use what one can find these days. I load 357/38, I use SPP in the mid level power loads and SRP when I want to step up to the magnum loads. When experimenting with unknown loads, start low and go slow. Worst that will happen is you will stick bullet in the barrel. As long as you don’t try to run that out with a full power load you’ll be fine. [/QUOTE]
