Like. Kinda 60’s vibe - like ‘Do Your Own Thing’ - just be responsible. I may be wrong (newb) but I’ve seen charts of powders ranked by ‘Fast’ to ‘Slow’… Had my heart set on starting with Unique but it’s unavailable. Well Accurate #2 & #5 are fairly close on the burn rate chart and a guy can cross reference and get a reasonable starting minimum load. And were available! I’ll review your work for signs of stress but for now I’m just gonna make some 38S&W that shoot respectably but won’t hurt the family heirloom. Thanks.
Yeah, my attitude is there’s a little experimentation to reloading. That’s why the sources give you a high to low range, and as long as you stay within that range you’re good. Fast burning powders are for pistols, due to the short barrels the powder has to burn fast to be effective. Slower powders are for rifles where the bullet stay in the barrel longer. Slow powder is a pistol, half of the powder blows out of the barrel behind the bullet. Fast powder in a rifle, and the pressure builds too high and fast. I’ve liked all the accurate powders I’ve used, but I rarely see it in the shelf so I don’t use it much. Besides unique I like HS6, it’s very similar. I also use a lot of Titegroup as well. Good luck and thanks for your comment!

You should demo some of your stuff off the 3d printer. Especially if it is reloading related.
Thank brother. I actually am working on a video right now! lol
