I just got some Starline 38 short colt brass and I'm hoping to start loading with the components I have on hand. Most of the load data I have found on the forum is for lead or plated bullets. Has anyone used jacketed 158gr bullets for short colt? I have a couple thousand Zero 158gr JHP bullets I would like to use up.
Is there any advantage for using lead or plated bullets other than cost?
I have seen a few suggestions to use 9mm load data for SC, but most of the loads I've seen are 158/160gr bullets. I noticed that Bayou Bullets have 115gr .358 bullets. Is there a reason to use heavier bullets for SC or would 115gr or 124gr bullets work?
I have Bullseye, W231,Titegroup, IMR 800x and Autocomp. I'll be shooting it out of a 627 with a 5" barrel and am mostly target shooting so PF isn't important.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -
CZ 85 Combat
in CZ
Along the lines of the of the Decocker CZ75 dont seem popular why? thread, why doesn't the CZ 85 Combat model seem popular? Based on what I have read on the forum I would have thought it would be more popular since it doesn't have a FPB.
I have tried both a CZ75 and a SP-01 and prefer them over the Glocks and M&Ps. Is there any reason to get a CZ75B or SP-01 over a CZ 85 Combat?

Thank you both for your advice.
Although I'm not currently competing, I would like to in a couple years and figure I might as well get used to reloading and shooting the short colts. I'll keep the JHP bullets for .357 and I'm ordering some sample packs of coated bullets.
Why is a chromo a must vs keeping an eye out for pressure signs like I do for .38 & .357?
