Poll - What powder, brass and bullet are you using

I had no idea 4756 was that popular, I'm using 8.2 grains N350, 38SC brass, 124grn MG-CMJ bullet and wolf SR primers. I thought the other Vit powders like 3N37 and 3N38 would have out ranked N350 or the IMR powders, I need to look a little closer at the 4756!

4" shorty, 170 PF

Are you folks still using the same powders or have you changed?

I'm still using N105, but have worked up a load for SP-2 as well (managed to snag 25lbs). They're very similar feeling in .38SC, but haven't worked up a load for my Major 9 gun with it just yet. R,

N105 with MG or Zero 124 in 38SC, used to shoot 4756 and that is still my back-up load.

I tried some N105 behind Zero 125 jhps for Supercomp, but, I didn't like holding my finger over the case, to keep the powder in, and really didn't notice much difference between it, and 350, so I went back to 350.

And, I have a HUGE can of 4756, for "back-up" powder.

Finally getting close to settling on a load; 124 gr. MG jhp over 3N38 in Starline SC brass, CCI or any other SR primer I have on hand. Tried HS6 which was OK. Didn't care for Autocomp which was a little dirty and violent in my gun. N105 was harsher than the 3N38 in my gun.

Looks like a large percentage are using 4756 - I might have to try that powder again.

Also interesting that out of 108 polled none one uses 38TJ

Currently working up loads for my new 38S Tanfoglio V12. Running 124gr MG CMJs and Starline SC brass with WSPM primers.

Front-runner for powder right now is IMR SR4756. VV 3N38 is pretty close; I'm going to bump up my 3N38 load and see if a hotter 3N38 load will run flatter than the 4756 load.

VV N105 seems a lot more violent than the others, in my gun and at the levels needed for a comfortable margin of error on PF. (It was very nice at 10.3gr, but that was yielding an average PF of 165.4 - WAY too close for comfort.)
