What is the best all around powder for 38 special reloads? Including being able to load +P.
how about a 1st place load for light-med soft & accurate target shooting???? lol I stockpiled so many .38 guns this past year

It would be good to know what bullet weights. I can get by with slower powders for heavier bullets, while lighter bullets can struggle to achieve sufficient resistance to get a good burn, with lighter bullets a faster powder may do better.What is the best all around powder for 38 special reloads?

I guess that's how you define heavy and what pressure your running. Hs-6 and Silhouette are better for plus p and above. I make 38-44 which is above +p but I run them in 357.

There is not a lot of data for WSF but this is a good powder for upper end .38spl (IMHO) as is VV-N340. For target loads I have had very good results with Bullseye and W-231.
Unique... good luck finding it.
