lead free 38 primers/bullets - best powder?

[pangris]

Greetings all. I am preparing to load up some lead free ammo for a lead free range.

I bought 1000 cases primed with CCI lead free primers and 1000 Sinterfire bullets.

I am wondering if anyone had any experience with these primers or bullets.

I normally use VV340, but would like input on what powders might work best for these primers/bullets.

What I want in a powder -

1. Clean burning
2. As little smoke as possible
3. Meters well (Dillon 550)

I am looking for mild loads - 750, 800 FPS.

I have also been told that I can't crimp the Sinterfire rounds much if at all... any measurement suggestions would be GREAT.

Thanks!

Paul

Thanks.
From what I read there, you use data for a similar sized jacketed projectile.
If their 110 grain bullet is the same length as a 158 grain jacketed lead bullet, you would use that data.
I like Hodgdon Titegroup for light loads. Complete burn even at lower velocities. No 'pepper flakes' in my revolvers.
I bought Titegroup specificly for light loads with jacketed bullets and it has not disapointed.
Meters very well for me in a Redding measure. Always within 1/10 grain.
The non toxic bullets are going to be long for their weight, so you may get bullet tumbling if velocities are too low.
Those prices are very good. Same price as a quality JHP.
