158 LRN with 3.2 gr of CLAYS. Clean and soft. In some guns it may be too soft (sub minor). But, still a good load.

38 spl brass
158 gr Bear creek Moly LRN
Federal SP primers
Solo 1000
4.2 gr will make minor in a 6" gun
4.6 gr will make minor in a 4" gun

Throw about 3.7grs of WST under those bullets and call it good.I ended up sending a few of my LRN/WST loads out with a local shooter to IRC because they grouped so well at 50.-MikeHow about a load for accuracy with the .38 special using 160 gr.

Hi Guys
I use 5.1 of WST in 38spl brass with a Zero 125 hollow point, or a 125 XTP hollow point.
Power factor is 128, makes it for Action Pistol and IPSC. ( minor power factor )
The 2 guns are a 681-c and a 686 preformance centre both with 6" barrels.
The load is flat shooting and at 50yrds the rounds go through the same hole if im lucky.
Forgot to add, Federal Small Pistol Primers, my Revolvers will not set off the others, to hard.
Hope this helps.
