Also remember that older primers were much milder then today's primers.

I have had decent luck with 2400 in the 38 special, but I like 4756 better so far. Plain old Unique works well if you use older data.

I have been using 5 grns of unique with a 158 for 30 years and after a period of "lack of confidence" where I used current book load data I went back. The funny thing is that when I shoot 5 grns of unique, it is clean, no problems and my 38/44's love it. Same thing happens with 2400 and 4756 if you use older data.
