WildBill542 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have a chance to load .38 Special for a customer and need the cheapest and Economical Powder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techj Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I like Bullseye for 38 spl - doesn't take much and is very soft shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The WW231 or HP38 is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Clays works well if you can find any, for moderate loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinga Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 231 followed closely by WST. You need a fluffy powder to take up space and to be able to verify powder drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES13Raven Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wouldn't TiteGroup be the most economical? Cheaper & very little powder grains to make power factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic2377 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have found Bullseye to be quite economical. It is a cheap powder, and uses a very low charge weight. Red Dot would also work similarly. I have fired alot of both through pistol, and alot of Red Dot through the 12 gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cundiff5535 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I agree, 231 is what I use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Whatever powder you have lying around is the most economical. And powder is The Cheapest Component of reloading ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earplug Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ex Shotgun shell reloader gave me a keg of Red Dot. It is listed as a fine 38 SPL powder. Its seems pretty cheap and available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHunter Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 231,Bullseye and WST are my favorites for 38 spl loads. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenhow Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The WW231 or HP38 is a close second. I think HP38 is a LOT better than WW231! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 But, much more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firewood Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm curious, did the customer specify the least expensive and/or most economical powder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
