    I use Trail Boss for most of my 38 Special loads - 3.2g for "cowboy" plinking loads and the max 4.2g for IDPA loads (670fps,) both with 158g cast round nose. It may be more expensive than other...

    They were Winchesters - I normally use WSP, but had some WSM on hand when I ran out of WSP. As I said, the velocity differences between the two, other components being equal, were no more than 2%. ...

    Another vote for Trail Boss powder. (There's a special plus for this powder - it says on the label "developed exclusively for lead bullets.") My "cowboy" loads are 158g lead round nose over 3.2g of...

    I have a friend who builds flintlock rifles. My scrap brass goes to him and eventually ends up being cast into butt plates and trigger guards. Most appropriate recycling I can think of.
