Anyone load Speer #4203 38 cal.?
« on: May 09, 2009, 04:14:17 PM »
A friend gave me a box of these today to try for 38 spl/357 mag. Anyone have any experience with these? I don't have the Speer manual. It is a JHP bullet. Thanks.

the Speer manuals #14  and #12 lists a load for the 140 gr. UCHP bullet for 357 mag. -
7.2gr. Unique-8.0gr Unique (max load).

Is this comparable for the 140 gr. jacketed hollow point bullet that I have? I think from the webpage on Speer that the UCHP=Uni-Cor Hollow Point, their most recent product improvement in the jacketed bullet line.

I do have Unique, Titegroup, and Bullseye powders that I Could use.

Thanks for the help,

Joe

In most cases the same load data can be used for bullets of the same weight and style / constrution , there are a few exceptions , just use the standard practice of safe loading , starting low and working up , you will be fine .  ;)
