sjs Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Any suggestions for a powder load using a 160 grain bullet out of my 627pc in 38 special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Are you loading for competition, plinking, or what? It matters what your final result needs are........velocity, accuracy, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Almost any shotgun/pistol powder will do the trick. 158grain bullets are standard fare for 38 specials. Thumb through a loading manual under the 38 special section and you should find a bunch of options. What powders do you have on hand? Or, what powders can you get easily?

ruleyoutoo1911 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Haven't tried any 160's yet, but have loaded up some 158 gr SWC using 3.4 grains of Titegroup. Nice shooting little load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granderojo Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The difference between 158 & 160s is not really an issue. Load data for 158s will be an easy place to start. I've seen load data for some powders for +P 38 spl. Also, you can look at the data for 357 mag. That's +P, for sure. IDPA droped their PF for Revo to 105 so standard off the shelf 38 would make it. No reloading required. I know you're planning USPSA shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Titegroup and ClayDot have both worked well for me Start as stated above with 158 data and work up to PF I'm using 160 Bayou's 627 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
