With a wide variety of jacketed and lead bullets available, the .38 Special is still a joy to shoot and reload.Today, it’s hard to find a gun chambered just for the .38 Special as most now come from manufacturers as a .38 Special / .357 Magnum combination. A number of then-contemporary hot and very hot .38 Special handloads and factory ammo were pressure tested.
Does anyone have any data Based on only two batches of powder, I can't say HS-6 is known for lot-to-lot inconsistency. Liked 25,855 Times in 12,351 Posts
It's never the wrong choice for that application.
Nevada Ed: I Bought a new keg of HS-6 in the past year. 125 grain Speer soft point or hollow point.
Those pressures listed were done using copper crushers. What do you load in .38 special, 148 grain wadcutters and 158 grain semi-wadcutters.

I too have gone away from using the 125 grain bullets, and now mostly load 158 LSWC with 5 grains of Unique. It is also probably the single most useful powder in the world.
My Reloading Manual for .38 Special has plenty of data for 125 gr JHP, and 125 gr JFP for Scot Powders/Vhitavuori, but nothing for Unique/W231/Bullseye.Winchester's website has data for W231 and a 125 gr LRNFP, but not plated.My point being is I used the resources I have, looked elsewhere (The High Road, The Firing Line), and wanted to try here. 860 231 (+P) 5.3 gr.
If you are new to reloading. 895 HP38 4.8 gr. A number of then-contemporary hot and very hot .38 Special handloads and factory ammo were pressure tested.
U can't nique up on velocity much with it.
alwslate, in discussions on many reloading lists, here, castboolit and the high road, Speer #8 is known to have the most overpressure loads of any manual.

Since its inception more than a century ago, between available guns, bullets, powders and reloading equipment, there is no better way to start handloading.
Like others have said Bullseye is my choice for light to moderate cast bullet loads in .38, .44, .45 and 9mm. Liked 9,477 Times in 2,869 Posts

This is my first revolver load, (Many different auto loads) and it's for plinking more than anything else, for a friend who owns a S&W stainless revolver. Powder Bul Weight C.O.L.
Between that, some other info on other forums, Winchester's data for a lead flat point, and numbers from loaddata.com, I think I have some to start with.I don't have a chronograph, but have considered picking one up.

My oldest Speer manual is the #7 which dates back to 1966, the year
Kinda like Dean's sausage, I can load em hot, mild or child mild.
I load 125 JFP in the 38 special with Unique, and I have found the perfect target load for plinking at 5.3 grains. I do vary the load depending on the intended 38.

Just sayin'
I have a long way to go before I'm ready to compete, but enjoy plinking and hand loading.I checked out Alliant's website-no data for flat point with the powders I have, but data for Gold Dot HPs for Bullseye and Unique.

The Speer #8 lists a max of 7.5 grs Unique with a 125 gr Jacketed SP
This would be for plinking for my wife's ~3" Rossi, so something light and fun to shoot would be great.All three of those powders have published load data for that weight bullet in .38 Special.All three of those powders have published load data for that weight bullet in .38 Special.My Lyman 49th has data for 125 gr JHP and 120 gr LRN.

I checked through the forum but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so here goes...I'm looking for some recipes for 38 special for a 125 grain copper plated (like Berry's) flat point bullet using Unique, Bullseye, or W231.
Burns cleaner and measures better.

With a 125 grain jacketed bullet, most load data today cuts off at 6 grains of Unique.
