38super major

[hdgun]

What is every one if any one using.

I currently use 7.4 blue dot with 158 berry RN.

Any one got different?

What type of firearm?

I have used Blue Dot .. AA#7.. AA#9 .. N350 .. 3N38 .. 3N37 with 135 and 124 and 115 bullets. I depends on what you are trying to do.

If you are trying major revolver I would go to 147 G bullets. With either Blue Dot or AA#7 but I probably would end up with N350. Blue Dot does not meter as well and AA#7 is not quite as clean but either of them are less $$ and more available.

I have NO load data to revolver just auto.

I make major just fine from a custom 5" 686. Just wondering if there was a better load than the I am using.

I use 8.3 gr 3N37 with a 125 JHP in my RPM 38 Super 8-shot. Shoots very accurate (about 1.75" at 50 yds) and, with that much powder, makes the comp work really well... very little flip. About 169 pf.

Here's my journey. I ended up with Unique and a 158 Berry plated bullet.

Has anyone used WST for 38 super major ?

I'm thinking 160gr bullets.

thanks

I seriously doubt you'll get anywhere near major with WST. I started getting pretty extreme ES in my 9mm 147 loads starting at 135PF and I quit there and went back down to 132. You'll likely need a slower powder.
