38 Special "Light" reload suggestions

Can anyone recommend a few loads for 100 Gr wadcutter load in 38 special.? All my load data seems to start about 148 gr.

I need to load up a bunch of real light plinkers for the wife and daughter to train with in a 357 Mag S&W 686 4 in

I'm thinking about 3.0 to 3.5 gr of bulleye....but that's what you use on a 158 Gr SWC bullet
This load keyholed in a small 442 revolver...gonna see what it does in a longer barrel today.

These 100 gr bullets actually weigh 108 gr.

The general rule on lead boolits is to use more powder for a lighter boolit to start correct?

The 686 likes a 158 Gr SWC with 3.5 bullseye....But I wanna go softer for the newbies with these 100 Gr lead bullets.

How about a few other powder recomendations....Maybe Unique....Green Dot

Thx

I have some 3.0 Bullseye loaded...I may move em up to 4.0 Bullseye on the next run...they are weighing 108 gr

My Pet Loads book shows some Green Dot Loads from way back...I love Green Dot for 45 ACP have never used it for 38

Thanks for the help

Cap, Sub...what say ya'll?

My wife and daughter are gonna cut their shooting teeth on these...so I need em accurate to a point about 15 yards and light recoil...I want them to enjoy their 1st handgun experience....training with Cliff...They'll shoot a 22 LR and 9mm pistol as well

WOW...I can go as low as 2.0 Bullseye...talk about economical!

I thought starting charges were higher for lighter bullets....

I'll try from 2.5 - 4.0 bullseye then....

Did not get to shoot today...Maybe tomorrow

Thanks, I have some Tightgroup and have not opened it up yet...Yeah my wife is very leary...especially with a 4 inch 686...I keep telling her that a heavy gun with light loads is a dream but she keeps seeing that big ole 686...Sigh...

I'm gonna turn her over to Cliff...when He's done the wife will probably shoot better than I do...which would be fine with me...

Main thing is I want her and the daughter comfortable handling them...cause Lord knows I gots em all over the place....Just need for em to be able to take care of business if ole 'Neck aint handy...

Man Captain-03 the offer to use the 19 is nice...you know I'd try to buy it off ya if you did I'll send ya pm

I was a fool for selling my nickel Model 19

tried 3.0 Bulleye out of 686 yesterday...shoots very well...no keyholing....but I'm out of Bullseye now

Gonna try some Tightgroup next 3.5 grains OK?

Anybody got a load for some Trail Boss

again..This is 110 gr lead WC

Thx
