Oh, almost forgot...

My "go-to" .38-Special load for years has been 5.0 grains of Unique over either a 158-gr cast LSWC or 5.0 grains of Unique over a 148-gr BBDEWC. Both roll crimped in the first crimping groove. Maybe a bit light for the bigger steel guns but I don't have a problem shooting some of them from an early 442.
