New to reloading. Getting ready to load some 38spl, 158gr lswc using w231 powder. I was looking for a mild load. Speer list min. 3.8 - 4.3 max using w231. Looked over to Hodgdon to compare. They list min. 3.1 - 3.7 max. ?? Then I saw Hodgdon data was using a 7.7" barrel. ??
First. Who in the heck uses a 38spl with a 7.7" barrel?? Didn’t know they even made such a bugger.
Second, Does barrel length make that much difference? I haven't seen where any others mention barrel length in my books.
Or did this newbie miss something along the way?
