pet 38spl loads

lets hear/see some load data on what your fav reloads are and what they are used for, match, plink, killing stuff, etc etc

This was tried long ago....

Let's see if it does any better this time

OK I'll add one 3.0 gr bullseye with a 158 grain LSWC

3.0gr bullseye behind every 38 boolit I cast ...

Pretty hard to beat it....Its been the "bullseye" standard for many moons

accurate load and Bullseye powder is very economical...just don't double charge one

what sort of fps do you get out of that?

Lyman 358495 148 gr button nosed wadcutter w/2.7 gr bullseye

Lyman Keith semi-wadcutter 168 gr w/ 3 gr Bullseye

Both are VERY accurate

never chrono'ed it...practice round....I'm sure the reloading books are close depending on your barrel length...

I'm gonna guess mid 7's to 8's......mild

i like the 1.5grs of BE with 102gr Cast in my lil LCR.. its like shooting a .22 revolver...

3.0 bullseye like everyone else is saying with either a 158 swc or a 160 round nose cast. www.bayoubullets.com
