    Hodgdon has load data for 38 Special and 38 Special +P, 105 gr CEB Raptor bullet only. Agree with Ford.

    You can search "Speer Load Data" for handguns on line. Speer gives data for 38 Spl, 158 gr. Lead using WSF 3.8 gr. ~ 4.3 gr. I can verify that WSF 4.2 gr. under a de-horned Lyman 358156 in a 38 Spl case is a nice combination. I've seen no data and have not tried WSF for .357.

    WSF is my go-to for 40 SW.

    I dont but wsf is basically spherical unique. My fav for full power 9 & 40. If you use midrange unique data & work it up, you should be fine.

    Why not? Just because there is no data doesnt mean you cant develop good safe ammo. I have been using WST in 9, 40 & 45 for over 14y, pretty much no data.
