Very nice, Ojai! WIll have to try the Barry's. 2400 is good for me as well. Thanks for the tip!

Nice - looks like a good plinking round - is that Berry's .38/.357 158g FP-TP?

RN. A little long but the cycle.
Going about as fast as a 22lr.

Berry's makes a very good bullet in my opinion and your groups on the steel are impressive.

I have a load I developed with Hodgdon CFE powder and the Berry's 158g F.P.T.P. for my Winchester 1866 chambered in .38 Special. This morning a 50 meter 10 shot group measured 1-1/4" W x 2" H and chronographed at 971 fps.

The Berry's 125g Target Hollow Point grouped better and chronographed at 1048 fps.

I may have to pick up some 2400 and see if I can't shrink the groups.

Thanks for the information!
