I have been reloading rifles for years, but never messed around with pistol cartridges beyond middle of the road 38's that went bang, and were called good enough.
What do you guys do for top accuracy out of your reloads? Do you change powders, change primers, mess with seating depth?
Just looking for tips since I have little experience with finding the best accuracy loads in pistol cartridges.
So far in a 4" S&W m19 the most accurate loads I'm shooting:
158grn XTP w231- 4.3grns, CCI small pistol primer, 38 Spl case.
158grn Berry's Plated, RedDot- 3.2grns, Rem small pistol primer, 38 Spl case.
158grn XTP BlueDot- 10grns, CCI small pistol primer, 357mag case. This groups 3" at 25 yards off of sandbags, factory sights.
Any tips that you would share on finding best accuracy loads would be appreciated.
