I'm putting 500 rounds through my J-frame in february

currently shooting 4.6 grains of trail boss behind a 135 grain plated bullet with CCI 400 primers. moderate crimp. seems good. VERY accurate if you do your part.

Mind if I ask which 135 you're using and if you are getting much unburnt powder? I'm using a 158gr LRN and Universal Clays but it leaves alot of unburnt powder which can cause a fumbled reload in an ICORE match. I don't use the LCR in ICORE, but I use the same load for all my 38s.

i believe they are rainier arms 135 grain plated. trail boss burns VERY clean. nothing left on the gun but some fine black carbon residue which wipes off easily.

i'll be loading up some 158 gr LRN soon, I'll report back on them...

Thanks, I'll switch to Trail Boss after this batch is done.

it's great, as long as you're not loading defense or hunting ammo, i don't' think you'll get much over 900 fps out of it even with a full length barrel.
