I recently acquired a J-frame for CC. I quickly learned one must practice a lot. I try to visit the range about 3-4 times a month. I shoot 100-200 rounds per session. And I'd shoot more if ammo cost would not bite so much.
I want to develop a mild but accurate load using Berry's 125gr FN on 38SPC brass. I already have Titegroup, Trailboss, Win231 and Unique. I hope to save in time and materials if anyone here can suggest a powder/load combo i can start with. I am finding it hard to find a mild and accurate load. So far the only very consistently accurate (ragged hole)load I've found is HOR 125gr XTP on top of 17gr of 2400 in a 357Mag Win brass and CCI500 primers. But that's hardly a plining load on a 13oz revolver (unloaded).
I noticed many seem to prefer heavier bullets for 38SPC. Does 38SPC tends to be more accurate with heavier bullets? Same applies to Snubbies?
