My favorite .38 Special 148gr Wadcutter round is made with 3.4gr W231/HP-38 but I have shot many 148gr WC rounds using 3.2gr of W231 too. I hope a light charge of 3.1gr will cycle the slide. If not up the charge a bit...
Make sure the bullet is flush with the case mouth. Anything longer probably won't fit in the magazine.
