in .38 spl. it is very hard to go wrong with Unique, Bullseye, Winchester 231/HP38.....use a 158 swc and follow the manuals and have a blast.

Many shooters like a plinking load of 4 gr. of Unique and a 158 anything. Some will step that up to 5 grains for a replication on the FBI load. Either are very accurate in any .38 spl. I have fired them in.

Don't know why other shooters would tell you that those powders are not for beginners......I would venture to say almost all of us either started or still use them because they work so very well!!
