Folks,

I am new to reloading, and I could use some help.

I am using 158Gr. Berry's Round Nose Bullets and Bullseye Powder. Do
any of you know what amount of Bullseye powder that I need to meet the
792 FPS requirement for IDPA?

Thank you.

Todd

Todd, What caliber are you shooting? From the bullet weight of 158 gr. it sounds like 38. Is this correct? Velocity will vary with barrel length too but we'll...

Hi Todd: When I work up a new load, I work my way up about .2 of a grain. Although this takes time, it is the safest way to do it when a bullet/powder combo...

Mike; A load that works in a 4 inch .38 is 4.5gr. of Winchester 231 under a 158 grain LEAD bullet. It's accurate and it makes the power factor. Start with...
