.38 Special Load Data for 158 Grain Lead Semi Wadcutter or Round Nosed Bullet
These are standard .38 Special loads not +P loads.I have included data for some obsolete and discontinued powders as reloaders acquire powder over time and often have a hard time finding data to use it up.If anyone has data for using the Herter's shotgun powders in revolvers please E-mail me at virgilearp@oocities.com and I will add the information. All loads were developed using standard CCI 500 small pistol primers. Magnum primer use will increase pressures!
