    Question Your favorate 38wc load.

    I'm getting a mold so i will be loading a lot more wc's .
    I"ve have used only unique and power pistol got some tight
    group for the 45's.

    The pp load was'nt in my hornady book so i used the loading
    for the 158g bullet for the speed i wanted around 700fps
    for a small game woods bumming load. I ended up with.

    Hornady dewc oal 1.180"
    power pistol 4.3grains
    CCI 500 small pistol primmer
    Rem {mostly} brass

    AV. 766fps LO 744fps HI 785fps ES. 41.05fps SD. 13.85fps

    ten shot string out of 4" barrel good load, but with tight group
    it would take around half as much powder.

    any brass

    Never chrono'd it, but it shoots good enough for me.

    I am using a very odd boolit. The WC mold that I was using is a Lyman. It weighs 158gn. The nose sticks out of the case about 1/4 of a inch. The load I am using is,
    PRIMER: CCI #500
    POWDER: 6.0GN OFIMR-sr4756
    BOOLIT:LYMAN 158GN WC @.360"
    CASE:MIS 38SPL
    LUBE:BULL SHOP SPEED GREEN.
    I am giving you a warning that you should use this load with caution.

    Sounds like a good load.

    I shot a lot of PPC with 2.7 grs of bullseye. 5.0-5.4 gr of Unique works real good in a 38 special with a 150-158 gr bullet. Gianni.
