5.0 gr. Unique and a cast SWC is my standard .38 Spl. load for everything including my 442. It runs about 882 fps in a 4" barrel. For a defense load I make it a 158 gr LSWCHP and 5.5 grains.

Have been using Unique since 1962 in just about every handgun caliber. It's still a little smoky and dirty but compared to black powder revolvers it's downright antiseptic.
