Hello!
I need some advice on where to look for loads for .38sp and 10mm auto with 500 of each coated "lipstick" bullets on their way from ACME.

I have Titegroup for .38 and these will be 158 gr coated round nose. want lighter target load for these..

Also, 10mm coated 180 gr and my powder is Blue dot. (my normal load has been 10.0 gr and speer TMJ 180gr)

My Lymans loading and Hornady books offer nothing for these combos..

Where should I look for starting charges on these? Any other suggestions greatly appreciated!

Dan

Hey Dancote,
I just shot this morning playing with some different loads/calibers for 38 - 357 - 45 for both pistol and rifle.

I was shooting my Python for .357 and for the .38. I shot two loads for the .38 Both were 110 grain light loads for plinking. Results are below:

I was testing several different loads between revolvers and Henry's and wanted to Chrono them all. When I Chrono I set the target at 30 yards.
