Lil gun for 38 supercomp

[Open1215]

Hello all, I was looking around at different load data and stumbled on this. If you look on the website the only powder listed for +P is WSF. Of you just look at 38 super there is a LOT more data. 

Both loads make major at max load and are relatively low pressure. I was thinking with it being such a slow powder it may be worth a shot, I have some on hand for 300 BLK.  Has anyone here ram this load or tried it? Thank you.

I shot it in 9mm, a whole case full barely made minor, but it was pretty soft.

I use little gun in my 300gr ftx 500 s&w mag loads. Its a hunting load and frankly brutal out of the handi rifle. It does take a lot of powder too 48.7 gr

I experimented with it in 38 Supercomp. 

 

It took 13.6 grains to make 169 major with a 124 grain bullet, and extreme spreads on the velocity were a little too wide for me. Also, it burns very hot and started eroding titanium comp baffles very quickly. 

 

On the up side: an absolutely stupendous amount of gas to run the comp, so it shot very flat and soft. 

 

Also a nuclear fireball and concussive noise.

Hmm. Good to know! Everything sounds good except the heat and erosion...  I think I'll stick w more known powders. Thank you!
