.38 Spl Load Data Requested

[4D5auto]

I'm using Berry's Plated 125Gr. FP. My current inventory of powder at my ready disposal is WW231 and Hodgdon Tight Group. My manulas really don't state anything for 125 gr. plated bullets. Anyone here having experience with Berry's Plated and what are you using. I'm setting the wife up with these for her Ruger LCR .38.

I would use Lead data and go from there. LEE states 3.8 starting for W231 and 3.2 for titegroup for 125gr lead bullet.

Yeah, I'm finding I will have to use lead data for 140gr. bullet and adjust accordingly. I've had to do this before with other calibers and has worked fine. Just won't push it to 1000+ fps and likely say much under that.

Check out Berry's FAQ on reloading for guidance here. I use WW231 with thier 158gr rn with great results.
