I size my cast lead to 357 

This is the biggest I can fit into a case and have it chamber.

lube is carnuba, wax, and alox

The FC cases seem to be required.

I've always used .355, plated for minor, and precision Delta or Montana gold's for major.

 

I recently traded for 9K worth of Zero .356 bullets marked 38 super. My plan was to work up a load for my 9mm major open 2011. Any potential issues with me doing this? I'm going to reduce powder charge (HS-6) and chrono as I go.

potential issues...

the only one I can think may catch you off guard...

do not go to a larger diameter bullet without lowering the powder.

plated and jacketed bullets will perform differently

basicly, jacketed bullets perform as a larger diameter for the same measurement as plated.

and the usual disclaimer--> all else kept the same.
