salemsm Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I am new to reloading and did quite a bit of research on trying to find a powder with a good load range for .38 spl. I have a backorder of a 4lb jug of Winchester 231. With that said and the long wait times for powders, what are everyone's advice on using 231 for .357 loads? What are my best options?

Guest Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It works fine. A little fast for the heavier bullets, but as long as you go by the Winchester published load data you should be good. It really excels with target loads in the .38 special cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Effects Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Outstanding accuracy in my S&W Model 19. Tested light loads in .38 Special and .357 Mag. 231 was great for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
