If anyone has load info on a 125 gr. .357 using 4227, I'd appreciate it.
Interpolation says 19-20 gr., but my reloading manual does not actually
call out any load data for the 4227 until up to 146 gr.  Any ideas why?

BTW, after trying the 'hotter' powder loads that many of you sent me,
I'm back to 4227.  Reason is simply that I shoot better groups with it.
I found that the 16.5-17.0 gr. range gives me the most consistent results
using 158 gr. XTP's (which I can get  on sale for $6.71/100, BTW).

But, they ran out of 158's and so I picked up some 125's for about the
same price only to get home and find that the pounds of powder I have
don't get called out for the 125 gr. slugs.....  Hmmm.  Thanks for any
info.
