I just recently got a .38 Super "racegun" ,comped and everything, for fun at the range. I have never loaded for .38 Super and have a couple of questions.
The previous owners "favorite load" for this gun was 8.3 Grs. WAP with a 130 Gr. FMJ and WSR primer for 1360 FPS.
It is my understanding that WAP is discontinued. Will WSF (with an appropriate change in charge wieght) work here? What powders do, or did, ya'll use in the Super and what primer, charge, bullet, and O.A.L.?
Is it necassary to use .356 bullets in the Super instead of .355? Why are .38 Super bullets .356?
I probably have more questions I have not thought of yet. Feel free to answer them too. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge..... A.C.
