I have used all of the powders you have.

Currently, I am using Silhouette and really like it. Was using IMR 7625 but now I prefer Silhouette. I shoot 38SC with the Zero 121 jhp (.356)

N105 was good too but it is too costly because I had to use a lot of powder. Felt good and my dot tracked well (up and down).

3N38 was good too and it too is expensive to use but the blast was sometimes distracting for me.

The bullets you have is a great start and the other bullets you listed also may work well so it looks like you are starting a long journey of load development to see what you and your gun likes the best.

Just keep your eye on your primers, most, not all, use rifle primers when loading for major pf.

I use N105 in a Brazos open in 38sc. I use 10.3 gr with a 125 HAPS set to 1.235 oal. This gives me 171-172 pf I also use Winchester srp
