2 inch barrel powder choice

[bigben]

Would like some recommendations for powder choices with 125 gr. bullets in 38 special plus P. Thanks

Red Dot for normal loads (4.0 grains), Bullseye (5.3 gn) or 231 (5.5 gn) for +P's. I haven't actually used the 231 data yet, but I have shot both the Red Dot and Bullseye loads in a 4".

Why the "thumbs down"?

HP38 by Hodgdon is good snubby powder.

I like Unique. It's fast enough to be good in short barrels but is versatile enough for (light loads) in magnum calibers. I even use it for shotgun reloads.

Unique or Bullseye
