[QUOTE="Clark, post: 592177, member: 6600"] The old load for 357 mag 158 gr XTP was 18 gr LIL GUN at some crazy low pressure. I called or wrote to Hodgdon and asked why no load for 158 gr LSWC. I was told it melted the lead. I have been shooting 158 gr LSWC and XTP bullets with 26 gr LIL Gun. It is very loud and kicks hard in little old 38 special revolvers. Then I chronographed it, and it is a hair slower than when I chronographed 18 gr. So it is blowing a fire ball out the muzzle. Still later, I realized I like the smell of H110 better. [/QUOTE]
