deerassassin22 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looking for a load for a Brazos BGS PRO SX in 38SC. Using 124gr MG or 115gr JHP's with AUTOCOMP powder. The barrel has 4 small holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 With the 124 Gr MG JHP's, I use 7 grains WAC in 9mm - you could start at 7, and work up slowly -probably need 8 or so grains for .38 SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerassassin22 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks I have another 38SC but it has 4 Large Holes and 1x Small this gun just has for small holes. So i didn't want to shoot my other loads in it to be safe. I started this morning with 6grns AV Vel 1123, with 6.3 AVG VEL 1164 and with 6.6 Avg Vel was 1217 over 10 shoots on each even with 6.6 only at 156 PF. Worked some more from 6.9 to 7.8 today will try them out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRichardson Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I bet the 7.5 was your sweet spot. Auto comp just got violent for me in 38 super, works great in 9major but didn't like it in 38sc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grump Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Wow, I feel like a wimpsissy for being concerned that 1200 fps from a 4.4 inch barrel might be a little too hot. But if it burns same as HERCO, I think QuickLOAD says it's barely into SAAMI +P. 122-gr cast lead, no GC. That was 5.7 gr, 1.12 OAL. I know, not a .38 SC but there's another data point.

deerassassin22 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Powder was Autocomp with 124gr MG JHP for the last load and 125gr BBI for the ones above it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 7.3 gr AC with MG 124 HP makes 166 PF pretty good SD if you don't go out of your area much I run 7.5 to have margin of error and the gun runs better there (flatter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
