St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I just got a 38-40 Uberti - 4.75 in barrel. I have a mountain of red dot and would like to use it up. The bullet I am planning on using is a Cast Lead RNFP at 155gr. I cannot find anything for 155gr. Lots of 175grs, 158gr was 5.1gr. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Tom Bullweed Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I would try 4.8 gr of Reddot with a 155 lead bullet and 5.0 gr with a 180 lead bullet. If you have hangfires or dirty brass, stepping those up by .3 gr might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I load 3.8 grains of Red Dot in 44-40 200 grain. Same load for Cowboy .45 Special. Just opened a 15 lb keg so I’m good for about a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
