Loading 357

[Janes]

I am starting to reload some 357's with 231 powder, I have never use this powder before. The bullet
is 158 grain cast out of wheel weights and is a semi wad cutter. The Hodgen charts shows that I can
use 5 grains. Has anyone used this charge or do you think that this would be a good one to start with.
