85win Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Anybody ever use Nosler 147 Custom Competition bullets for 38 Super? Nosler did not have any load data for the 38. I can’t find any on the Internet. I love using them in 9mm (for which there is a lot of load data for). I am just concerned about starting loads because these bullets need to be seated a little deeper because of the large tangent ogive on the nose, and they have a longer bearing surface than any other jacketed 9mm bullet.

Compare how much bullet is in the case compared to your usual load. Subtract a tenth for every .020 deeper your Nosler bullet is. Just a general rule that should keep you safe.
