St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted February 2, 2021 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. STL Suomi
Tom Bullweed Posted February 3, 2021 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.
Yul Lose Posted February 3, 2021 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.
