When working a load I use barely enough powder to lock the slide back and then add 1 tenth of a grain to it. You can shoot the Federal 130 wc in a 52 but it is designed to shoot lead.

Thanks! As I said, I thought that HST bullet might present a good SD/HD option for what is primarilly thought of as a target pistol. Nowdays one can use every option possible.
Now that Colt Gold Cup National Match .38 Special Mid-Range Mk III is a much more expen$ive way to go target shooting... If you can ever find one?
Cheers!
