I'm working up some .38 Super loads for a new Dan Wesson Guardian.

I'm going to be using Precision Delta 124 gr. FMJ's and Starline .38 Super +P brass. I'm looking for mild to moderate plinking loads and have 231, Bullseye, wst, wsf, unique, titegroup and AA5 & AA7 on hand.

I have some data available, Lyman 49th etc, as well as Winchester/Hogdon online, and some data published by Jeff Mass back in 2003, but I'm looking for some favorite loads, with the above or similar components anyone have any they would care to share?

Thanks
 
WSF, Unique, & AA 5, should all make nice plinker loads in .38 Super. If you want to load something more like max, AA #7 should do well.

WSF was a bit dirty to suite me in mild .38 Super loads. I found nice N320 and N340 light plinker loads, (A 125 at around 1175/1200 FPS), and use 3N37 to hot rod it.
 
Ramshot Silhouette is as close to WW WAP as you can get.
WAP was the powder for 'making major' using .38 Super.

I actually have at least 40 pounds of WAP left.
