Oddly enough, the Lyman manual does not have loads for 230 gr LRN but they do 225 gr...
Fortunately Hodgdon's site has some data.

As you can see, HP 38 and 231 are the same. I've read in many places that 231 and HP38 are interchangeable. From the load data I've looked at, that appears to be true.
I got a box of 44 mag reloads from [mention]TheMailMan [/mention] with H110 powder. I was about 7 or 8 yards from the paper target when I pulled the trigger. Luckily I wasn’t any closer because I swear there was a 3’ flame coming out of the barrel after I shot it!!! I’m smiling just thinking about it!

They are exactly the same. SMP manufactures a single powder that Hodgdon markets as HP38 and Hodgdon also markets as WW231 under the Winchester brand they licensed. Keg is the same OEM number, no matter which you ask for.
hes not kidding! and this just part of it. you are now digging a hole you'll never climb out of.Yep you're screwed. Once you start reloading you start to think of all the other things that you can do to make it better. The lee is a nice press. I have a buddy who has used one for years. Once you get a little more comfortable with it you don't need to weigh every round unless you are going for super accurate rifle rounds. You DO need to visually check every round before placing the bullet on the case to be sure nothing looks out of place, no powder, not enough powder, or worse of all too much powder. Have fun and be safe.
RCBS has good stuff also and a great, no questions asked warranty!I've been loading for 55+ years. I have used a bunch of loaders and nothing comes close to Dillon. The thing about them is the costumer service. If you have a problem, call them and they will get it resolved and if parts are needed they will send them tyd no charge. If you buy one used, it is still covered by their no BS warranty.

Doesn't specify them. Call for regular large pistol Be careful. Just like a beginning cook, follow the recipe exactly until you get experience.
I just noticed that and was getting on here to ask about it. I’ll look to see what the Lee book says, but if it doesn’t call for magnum pistol primers, what would they be used for, if not magnum charges?
