    I use 10 grains of Unique and get acceptable plinking ammo with 240 LSWCs. If you want more perfomance use 19 grains of 2400 or 19.5 grains of H-110.

    Is it worth reloading?

    It is worth it First let me ask, "What is the price of your labor?" You will save lots of cash on big bore pistol calibers and any rifle caliber. Here is a quick cost analysis on .44 magnum; Reloads Brass= FREE (reclaimed brass was paid for once) Primers: Box of 1000 Large psitol primers @...

    FBI load bullets

    FBI Load A good source for .38 SPC Lead Semi Wadcutter Hollow Points is on MidawayUSA. I use primarily the Speer 158 grn LSW-HP which is clean to the touch and also very accurate.
