My go to load for a Lyman 150 grain LRNGC bullet is 19.0 grains of IMR 4227 giving me a MV out of a 29" barrel of my Mauser M1896 of 1,763 fps. Decent accuracy to 300 yds.
I've tried 100 Ginex primers in both my .38 Super and in one of .38 Spls. Very happy so far.

Back about 2006, I spotted a Silver JW Commemorative for about $1,750 (Cdn). Given how many commemoratives Winchester dumped on the market, I waited. A few years later I found one that a previous...

I found my M1896 prefers IMR 4227 father than 2400.
My Swedish model 1896 (as issued) loves the gas checked Lyman 150 grain bullet. Its pushed by 19.0 grains of IMR 4227. It gives me an average of 1763.2 fps and a 2" group at 100 yds. In 2015 & 2016...

I'm using the Lyman 160 grain LRNGC bullet. I tried IMR 4895 & IMR 4198 with unsatisfactory results. I went to IMR 4227 with excellent results.
