Loads for .38 Short Colt & .38 Super in a 627 ?

[AultGM]

I'm looking for a load for my 627 shooting .38 Short Colt & .38 Super ...

I have an abundance of Win. SuperTarget, Win. SuperField, and 700X Powders

and bunches of 135 gr. RN Billy-Bullets in .357" diameter.

I would like to be consistently near 125 pf (not shooting any serious stuff).

Thanks in advance for your input.

9mm cases are the same height and case volume as .38 short colt. Look up 9mm loads with the powder and bullets

you want to use and try that.

3.5 - 3.7 grains solo1000 with the Billy Bullets 135 in the super is a fantastic load and bullet. i am also working on the 38 SC load with the same bullet and hope to use the same powder as well. have put it on the back burner for now, got too many things going at once. looks like 700x would be your best bet for the powders you have. the WST and WSF are too slow in my opinion. never used 700x but its in the ballpark by burn rate.

Thanks to all for their input so far ...

Still hoping for some loads using 700X and 135 gr. Billy's ...

We've been using 4.6 gr WST behind a 115-125 JHP and it's running at Minor PF speeds in 38 Super. Really a soft shooting load!
