In a 38 Spl case, 4 gr of WW231. Not a +p load but accurate and easy to shoot. Gets around 850-ish out of most 4" Smiths. Most seem to prefer a +P iteration of this load, to duplicate the vaunted "FBI Load".sigpic

My home defense load is factory ammo. :-)
That said, you might give 3.5gr Bullseye a shot. That should keep you within .38 Special specifications and still give you enough oomph to drop the attacker."San Francisco Liberal With A Gun"
F***ing with people's heads, one gun show at a time. Hallelujah!

To be a true Liberal, you must be 100% pro-Second Amendment. Anything less is inconsistent with liberalism.Comment
