Hey Guys,
Just got done loading some rounds at the bench tonight and feel like I may have made a mistake! I had some plated double ended wadcutters I wanted to load up for my Detective Special so I made quick reference to my handy Sierra manual. Of course, Sierra doesn't make a .38 wadcutter, so I took my numbers from the low end of the 158gr data thinking this would keep me out of pressure troubles. So, I loaded up 60 rounds with ~3.3gr Bullseye. Conventional wisdom is that 2.7gr Bullseye is about right in a .38. Are my loads too much or am I being a worry wart?
