I'm getting back into reloading after 10 years. Question what powders would be best for 38 special and 357 Mag.? I'm looking for one powder. I willuse ithe for target and hunting and will probably will be using 125/130gr or 150/158gr LSWC.
There is no "one powder" unless you are willing to just load midrange and give up both light target loads in .38 and max hunting loads in the .357.Question what powders would be best for 38 special and 357 Mag.? I'm looking for one powder.
I would not use a ultra-fast powder like Bullseye in the .357 Magnum unless I was loading a .38 Special pressure target load in .357 Magnum brass.If you're not trying to melt your gun shooting 357mag, try Bullseye. I got 8grs of it behind 125gr Ranier HP's, and believe me, you know you're shootin'.

Buy a pound of a fast powder for your target loads and a box of factory ammo for the hunting loads. You can take care of quite a few dogs with a box of ammo.
