Did a search, can't find any threads on this so.....
I got some 158 LSWC's the other day with a BH of 18. This should be good for pressures up to 25,200 psi (18x1400). Don't have a chrono and loading data that I have does not give all chamber pressures especially between the +p 38 and full mag loads in 357 which are way more than the 25,200 psi.
I have both Bullseye and Unique available for powder and Federal 100 SPPs.
Anybody have a 357 load that has a lower chamber pressure of near the 25,200 level? Or is there a chart available somewhere that I could find the information. I know part of the fun of reloading is working up loads but don't want to start leading up the barrel.
Thanks for any information in advance.

Edit - Went to Handloads.com and used their reduced load calculator. Came up with 4.6 grains of Bullseye or 4.9 grains of Unique for pushing the boolit at 1,000 fps. Not sure of what the pressure would be though. Not real worried as the gun is an SP 101 3" 357.
Should I go for pressure or speed?
