Midway USA has those load manuals that you mentioned also. I had thought about them just the other day so it was great that you reminded me, I ordered a few including the .38 Special that you spoke about. Thank you for the great information.
Another good video. My .45 load book just arrived. Doing a number of test loads soon to pick a light and heavy pet load. When I was a sprout, I remember Skeeter Skelton loading hollow base .38 loads ‘Accidentally’ upside down and hot for defense duty loads. Dang nice little M10-6.
@@j_c_huntTry 2.8-3.2gr of TiteGroup for wadcutters. 231 is pretty good too, and a little bulkier than TiteGroup. Titegroup is less position-sensitive though. Just make sure to not double charge, TiteGroup is a very dense, fine grained powder and easy to double charge with if not careful
Awesome job brother! Very respectable groups. Yea we all can improve, but those are great in my opinion. Those bullets look cool…definitely different from anything I’ve used. I use the 158gr SWC with my .38 Special loads. Hope you have a great weekend!
Wadcutters are strange to handload. The powder loads are generally pretty light and the seating can be tricky when you first start. They shoot like a dream though!
A while back, Fortunecooky45 pulled some Remington HBWC factory rounds and surmised the charge was 3.2g of 231; they apparently shot very accurately. I agree 3.5g is a bit on the high side for a target load, the recoil and M.V of just shy of 850fps tends to support this, so I agree with you. Interesting video, and helpful to those of us experimenting with the same bullet and powder combination.

Enjoyed this video. Keep it up.
Appreciate the kind words, support, and encouragement!
Some pretty good groups, even DA. Those wadcutters are cutting some nice holes and performing quite well. Another good Friday.
I agree! The numbers are perfect. Will make a fine load! Just need to polish up on my skills!

Awesome! And appreciate it! It’s been a dandy of a handgun for me.
Enjoyed the video looking forward for more. 38 special
2.7 grs Bullseye under the 148 gr HBWC is “The Champion of Champions.” Most accurate handgun load ever devised and proven so in countless of matches.
I’ve heard that. Problem is finding bullseye these days.

love to see what that load does out of a 2 inch barrel.
Another great video my friend! I thought the groups were pretty decent for a first loading: maybe a couple tenths down on powder?
