Gentlemen, I have come across quite a few Speer 158gr jhp for 38/357.
I am wondering if anyone has a load for this in 38 special. I will be shooting this in a S&W 642 with a 2 inch barrell. Thanks
I would load with a faster burning powder I like W-231 and Fed.100 primers myself for 38spl. W-231 works well with my .44 spl and .45 acp loads I have had good results with Bullseye, and I here Clays works well to.
I just worked up a very accurate, nice shooting load for my 642 using 125g plated Rainier's and 4.5g of Bullseye. It hits POA better than 158g bullets and is closer to the 135g Speer Gold Dot +Ps I carry with but not near the bite.
Funny you mention that Eagle, I have loaded 3.9gr of B.E. with 140gr Raineer plated FP and they shoot great from my Taurus 85/ 2" and S&W 36/2" they also shoot well in my S&W mod 10/6"
