Need .38 SPL 150,158,168 lead SWC loads for CSB1M

Like the title says... looking for lead bullet SWC loads using CSB1M powder from Hi Tech. Their flyer only shows Berrys 125 data.

I have loaded .45 acp lead 230 and 9mm lead 125s with 5.4 and 4.2 respectively and they worked fine.

But, guessing a load going for 125 to 150-165 lead working from that data in the .38 doesn't seem as safe. I'm just looking for moderate loads...not +P or mouse fart!

Would appreciate the benefit of anyone else's proven data.

thanks!

Unless something has changed, Hi Tech said use Universal load data for CSB-1.

Thanks. Ran the Hornady calculator for the various bullet weights for .38 spl and Universal. Data makes sense...looks like 4.0-4.2 should work for my purposes.

fwiw I back checked with the 9mm/ .45 loads I have above (which I got off the flyer that came with the powder) and they fit the respective Universal data from the calculator also.

I used universal data for loading shotshells (20 gauge specifically) and tend to think that it was likely closer to international Clays as opposed to Universal as the 20 gauge ammo I made up with this stuff was a bit on the stout side..
