It meters well is very very clean burning as well as accurate . I have tried it in mid range 357 magnum loads using same bullet with very good results . I used 6.7 grs ( max is 6.9 ) according to Hodgdon's load data . I was very pleased enough over all to want to buy more . The faster powders aka : red dot , 700X , bullseye , WST , titeegroup etc all work well in std 38 spl loads . I use a lot of Ramshot Zip in 38 spl , about like HP-38 , green dot etc . Good luck , regards Paul
