Does anybody have load data for .38 special using 125 gr. cast bullets and Unique or WSL powder? Or can you steer me in the right direction? I am looking for sedate loads to use for indoor shooting. I have tried 5grs. Unique with a jacketed bullet and am wondering if I can reduce the powder charge even more. 5 grs. was listed as a starting load in the data I looked at for a jacketed bullet.
I tried posting this same question in reloading and got no replys. I am hoping some of you guys that shoot big bores occaisionally step down to a "small bore" once in a while.

Look at the Lyman cast bullet data. You can get an idea as to what charge weight you need to use for your bullet.



If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.
