Clays powder question, in .38 Short Colt

Recommended Posts

I've been loading 3.0gr of clays behind a 160gr Bayou bullet with good results. 810fps, 129 pf.

 

If I keep everything  the same, but swap in a 148gr coated bullet, what can I expect?

 

Does a lighter bullet with the same powder charge go faster or slower than the 160gr one?

 

Thanks

Lighter bullets usually need more powder, to make the same PF a 124 gr. bullet needs to reach at least 1040 FPS.  Look in your reloading book at how powder charges change with changes in bullet weight.
