Looking for some 38 S&W data.

[cwlongshot]

I have many manuals but so very few have data for this classic. I have some for a 146g bullet.

But Id really like to shoot the 358430 @ 200g. Knowing Western loaded it so long ago and that its orig loading used a long time discontinued powder. I cannot find data. Also knowing most of these ol guns where/are of questionable strength one dosent like to take chances.

Help to Links or a PM with picture copies of printed data would be most appreciated!!

Thank you guys!

In the small frame top-breaks 1.8-2.1 grains of Bullseye or TiteGroup with 145-158 grain lead bullets only.

In the British military Enfields, Albions and Webley & Scott 2.0-2.2 grains of Bullseye or Titegroup with 190-200 grainer, OK to increase to 2.5 grains of Bullseue or TiteGroup, or 3 grains of Unique with 170-180-grain bullets which approximate the nose length and seating depth of the Mk2 service bullet.

In the S&W Victory and Ruger India Models you can use 2.5 grains of Bullseye or TiteGroup, or 3 grains of Unique with the 190-200 grain bullets.

Emailing you a Fouling Shot issue with data.

Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition has what you're looking for. I couldn't upload the photo.
