been experimenting with 38 special rounds trying to get an accurate load for a taurus m85 ultralite 2" snub nose. best i have gotten is a 1 1/2 inch group at around 10 yards with 5.8 gr of alliant power pistol with 125 gr HP.
heres the question, been reading up on rifle reloading (going to be starting .223 reloading hopefully soon) and I read somewhere that depending on the type of crimp and how much the round is crimped effects the pressure of the round. if this is true with rifle rounds, would i get the same effect with 38 special?
I've been using 5.8 gr of alliant power pistol, when I can find it will try new powders, but I have tried blue dot, bullseye, 700-x, and aa no 5. any powders out there I should try next to get tighter groupings at greater distance?
I know that nothing is impossible, but my overall effect is tight group at 25 yards. is that asking to much from a snub nose? I don't know, first snub nose I have ever owned and just trying to get best performance out of it as possible.
