I am wanting to work up some 38 special with the lightest possible recoil.
Here is what I have on hand to work with.
Powder: Red Dot or Titegroup
Primers: Tula Small Pistol
Projectiles: 158gr CLSWC, 158gr LSWCHP, 158gr LRNFP, 125gr LRN.
My normal load is 3.0gr-3.2gr Red Dot under a 158gr LSWC. This is pretty mild but still has some slap when shot out of a J Frame.
Using the components that I have on hand, what would be a good place to start?
Should I focus on the lighter projectile when looking for a minimum load?
There is published data but I am looking to create something of a true "powder puff" load so to speak.
Any advise on going down toward minimum instead of up toward maximum is welcome. This will be new for me. Thanks
