I had great groups with 15gr of 2400 under a 200gr Laser Cast bullet.

180 gr is usually a .38-40 weight. I hope they aren't .401 diameter.

I use the LaserCast 180 grainers in mine with 10 grains of Bluedot, very accurate. Bullet diameter on mine is .431.

Makes a difference: are you shooting them in a '73 or a '92??

I'd use Unique....'bout 7-7 1/2 grains of it.
