I agree that by taking normal precautions the 148 gr. data can be used for the 150 gr. bullet. My choice for +P type loads would be Universal Clays. It has an almost identical burn rate as Unique but meters better. W231/HP38 is another good one for the 38 Special as is the SR4756 Tell Sackett mentioned. Another "unsung hero" for 38 Sp. is SR7625. The thing I like best about Hodgdon/IMR/Winchester powders is the great load charts published online at Hodgdon.com. I favor their powders just because of easy and quick access to up to date factory data.
