I guess I'm the only one but I feel 2400 is too slow a powder for use in the .38 Special. There are plenty of other good powders in a faster burn rate range more suitable for generating the pressures associated with a .38 Special.

If you're looking for a good powder to make the FBI Load (158gr LSWC .38 Special +P) I use HS-6. It will deliver the velocity you are looking for but not generate excessive pressure.

Back in the day there were very few powders so reloaders had to make due with what was available. There are SO MANY powders out there now there is no reason to settle so buy the powder that will serve your purpose best. In the end you will spend more time, primers, powder and bullets to find out 2400 really isn't the right powder for what you want to do. Save all the time and components and cut your losses and buy the correct powder now instead of later.
