[QUOTE="308plinkerVT, post: 3007407, member: 117224"] If for a old item, HS6 is good for low pressure loads AND visually verifying not being accidentally overcharged (the main reason I and many others don't suggest the "frugal" powders). If it's in your means to clearly identify your loads/cases and keep the rounds away from anything old, aka designate them for strictly your I am assuming newly manufactured lever gun - H110 does work in a 38 case with the Hornady FTX at a charge mildly above minimum and no compression. Makes for a couple more rounds in the tube if you happen to be critter collecting and don't consider it to be overkill. Exact accuracy and velocity haven't been tested yet but they shot consistent to point of aim with the iron's. If they run anything like my old experience with a 44mag Smith they shouldn't un-impress. Case head thickness was found to be identical on 357 and 38 cases on hand, so it's definitely pressure considerations when it comes to your powder choice and loading style. [/QUOTE]
