I have Unique, Titegroup and AA #5
I’ve found a little info in the Lyman Third addition handbook for a 150 gr. with Unique 4.2 max. and Titegroup 3.5 max. but none with AA #5
Any help with loads would be appreciated,, thanks in advance. For K frame S&W.
( I can wait and get other powders too if needed)

Are you wanting full power wadcutter loads for self defense and knocking around the woods or mild target loads?
I’m sure somewhere around the old standard load of 2.7gr Bullseye under a 148 HBWC would be a good accurate and mild load.
5gr of Unique is a pretty snappy Plus P load. Probably slightly over SAAMI pressure spec depending on seating depth but I’ve shot a ton of them. It would take a bunch to wear out a K frame.

3.0-3.2gr of bullseye w/148 dewc out of my 28 is a great shooting round.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I've been shooting 2.7gr. Bullseye/148 WC for a long time. Don't remember exactly when I started but Moses taught it to me - he called it The 11th Commandment. His words: "Thou shalt not substitute any other target loads in thy .38 Specials." Truth. (Of course, it was in ancient Hebrew and I didn't understand a word he said. I had to have Pappy348 translate.)
