Re: 38 special practice load
Trappst I use Berry's Mfg. Plated bullets in 38 357 and 44 mag. for practice. There is no worries about leading and they are reasonable.
Re: 38 special practice load
Unfortunately, Berry's doesn't make a plated 110g bullet. I'm really wanting to stick with the same weight bullet as the ammo I'll be carrying in it. In this case, the Hornady 110g critical defense ammo.
Probably gonna get some Hornady 110 xtp's as they are pretty cheap.
Re: 38 special practice load
Can't help you with the bullet but your Bullseye is the "go to" powder. We load a 148 gr HBWC over 2.1 grs of Bullseye for a very mild and accurate target load. Years ago I got a deal on bulk pack Remington 110 gr JHP's from Weidners. I loaded those over 8.8 grs of AA #5. Very accurate load but its +P and wouldn't be much fun in a snubby. I still have four or five hundred of them.
