I'm a newbie (well, old newbie since I haven't reloaded or fired much of anything in over 25 years - but am getting back into it) with a question ...
I have a new Marlin 1894cb in .357 Mag and a lot of old brass, powder and primers for my old Ruger Blackhawk (same caliber).
The ammo components are all in good condition, but I want to use up the old IMR 4227 powder I have on hand.
I purchased 500, 130g RNFPBB .38 cast bullets from OMA on Vancouver Island, so am curious as to an IMR reload. Hodgson's reload data site doesn't list this 130g, or equivalent, bullet.
Or should I just chuck the old IMR 4227 and use something else?
I am only shooting target out to 100 yards for the time being.
