When I was loading a lot of .38 Spl., my favorite load was 4.0 231 with Speer swaged 158 sec. Little recoil and accuracy you would be envious of. It shot well in several different guns, too. If I were still loading .38s, I would still use it.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
