It's going to take a lot more than 3.0gr or even 3.5gr of W231 to lose a skirt on your wadcutter. Hodgdon's load data with a 148gr HBWC starts with 3.5gr W231/HP-38 and goes to a Max of 4.0gr W231/HP-38 so you really don't have to worry about 3.0grs or 3.2grs W231...

I'm curious, who recommended that charge of 2.9gr W231?

That bottom target is a good looking target...
