.38 Special load for Evil Roy revolver...

Post by fortyshooter » Mon Apr 13, 2020 2:22 pm

The nice looking 158 gr. RNFP "Cowboy" bullets from Missouri Bullets came this morning and loaded up 50 to try.
I loaded these with 5.5-5.6 gr. of Power Pistol for use with my .357 Evil Roy six shooter. Like the look of this bullet and the flat nose
for getting energy to the steel knock over targets.
This bullet really looks fitting for a Western style six shooter!

I can shoot anytime and might get down there in a day or two. Let it dry out a bit after the big storms that came thru this morning.
Hope they shoot well out of the revolver and the Henry as well.
