Ok, so I've been loading .38 Spl for a long time.
HSM's 125 gr plated HP over 3.7 gr of Tite Group.
I am NOT recommending this load as it's under powered
But it gives me 700 fps out of my aluminum airweight S&W Model 38.
Due to a lack of funds, I'm switching to home cast lead.
Tite Group & 45/45/10 lube makes for almost as much smoke as black powder.
(and yes, I've shot black powder rounds outta my 38s)
What powder do you use that doesn't smoke?
(or at least cuts way down on the smoke?)
