You already got a bunch of good loads in this thread.

One of my two favorite .38 Special loads is a 158gr LSWC over 4.0gr W231/HP-38. It is very accurate and clean in all my 38/357 revolvers.

For the ultimate in clean go with a coated bullet since most of the dirt and soot comes from the lube on cast bullets.

My other favorite .38 Special load is a 148gr DEWC over 3.4gr W231. If you prefer a HBWC go with 3.2gr W231 instead.
