115 + N350 38Super/SC loads

[lcs]

Been shooting 121 IFP and Silhouette for open. Appreciate any loads for 115 and N350. I am using standard length barrel no poople holes. If you add a load just please specify barrel length.

Thanks

Edit to remove some really bad data that would really cause a problem

Use a lot.

Actually, I'm guessing around 10.5 or so will be a good starting point for you. 10.0 makes 175PF in my old gun (5" barrel, 4 small holes). 10.2-10.3 should be in the same neighborhood w/ a 121. Up another couple tenths for 115, at least to get you in the neighborhood....

I think you read 115gn bullets as N105. Would 10.2/10.3 of N350 even fit in a 38SC case

Oh.... you're right.... D'oh... Yeah, 10.2 of N350 would fit, I'm pretty certain It would not be a pleasant thing, though, I imagine

The only data I have w/ 115gr and N350 in my old gun (with lots o' holes) was 8.3gr at 161PF. I believe 8.7-8.8 or so would've been about right.

Cool--that is what I looking for. I needed a starting point. 8.5 should be a starting point for a 5".

I tested 8.2gr of N350 with MG 115gr CMJ's at 1.235" twice in my Bedell (shorty, no popples). I got 168PF on the first day and 166 on the second day (20fps or so difference, which isn't crazy with different weather and lighting). R,

I am shooting 8.0gr of N350 behind a 124 at this time, but was shooting 8.8gr or 8.9gr behind a 115. I do have holes in the barrel. Before the barrel porting, it was 7.8gr of N350 behind the 124, and 8.6gr behind the 115. Very similar to 7625, but the N350 had a hair more recoil and shot a hair flatter.
