I'm looking for a starting place to do some 38 super minor loads with 124-125 cast RN bullets and either N350 or Win 231 powder. It's for a shorty open gun. I want to use stuff I have on hand to work up a load for NRA Action Pistol, they have a 120 PF floor so any thing around 1000 fps would work.
I've never used cast bullets in an open gun and can't seem to find anything published for these two powders. :blink:

Thanks
Dan

Thanks Jeff,
It looks like the Layne Simpson 125 grn, 231 load will be the place to start.
