Well I'm mostly loading target loads that are economical to shoot and accurate and I am using both 38 & 357 because I have a little brass for each. Titegroup performed well and was very clean but I feel like its a bit snappy so I already know I want to try W231 as it has a bit more push them snap. From the responses here and my handbooks it sounds like faster powders are the way to go for target so I mostly have that figured out.

What I don't have much experience with is slower powders and wondered if anyone uses them for target loads or mostly defensive rounds.
