I'm a rifle guy, and have handloaded a BUNCH for various rifle rounds. I own handguns, but finally decided to expand my handgun collection a bit and get into handloading for some of them. I have a new Ruger SP 101 on the way (2.25" barrel), and was curious of some opinions of a good all-around bullet/load for it.
I have a .357 Mag Vaquero that I keep loaded with .357 ammo, so this snub-nosed revolver will get 38 Specials - standard velocity. For everyday carry, I plan on using a factory load of some type suitable for social work. But for practice and carrying out in the desert/woods, and I suppose for social work in those places if need be, what thoughts do you have on a good all-around load? JHP's seem like a good choice, but the semi-wadcutters and the hollow-point semi-wadcutters and that standard velocity sound interesting too. Thanks!
