I didn't want to hijack the other thread, just a similar question..

I want to load 38 super with 145gr rn lead with Power Pistol but I cant find any data. I want to use this combo as I have all those components on hand. I will be using these to get some trigger time, not for any competition. Any weight suggestions for powder ?

How old is the Colt? If it's very old, I would not run full power loads through it...They were notorious for having an unsupported chamber.
