Howdy everybody,
Right now I am loading for my old Lady,s Gun which is a 1906 DA Model Colt Police Positive in .38 S&W. I always thought my self cast Slugs where 158 Grain and loaded them without GC over 2.3 Grain Winchester 231 Powder without any issues.
Now I like to load the same Slugs but this time with Gas Checks and found they actually scale out 164 to 165 Grain with Gas Check installed.
Wondering if someone can suggest a safe starting Load. Powders on Hand are 231 Winchester, Red Dot, Herco, Unique. Because Wife is small, I like to keep recoil to a minimum.
Thanks in advance for all replays.
Cheers
a Powder Weight for 164 Grain GC Lead Slugs for the ole .38 S&W
