AzoneHits Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 A friend of mine wants to know what the best load & powder would be for the bedell's shorty open gun 38 super using a 124gr. JHP. Curenntly using vit. N350. He thinks that someone might have a better load that will shoot flat and soft. Any suggestions out there? Thanks for your comments.

RH45 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 My current load, with full size open gun is the same as singlestack's, except, I only use 8.2 grains of N-350. I was going to start with that load, when my Bedell shorty gets here. Maybe I'll mooch some of the other powders you guys suggested, from some of my shooting buddies, to compare them. I know guys that shoot the AA7 and vv337 & 338, in their full sized open guns, but, I don't know of anyone around here that uses the IMR powders for pistol.
