For target shooting I load 38spl cases with 3.0 gr of Winchester 231. standard primers and a lead wadcutter. This IMO makes just about an ideal 38 target load and I've never seen any reason to deviate from it for that purpose.
If I want something hotter I load 357 Magnums and of course only use them in revolvers chambered for this cartridge.
My wife carries a alloy J frame as a concealed carry revolver and it's loaded with commercially manufactured defensive cartridges made for this purpose.
