I used data from Hodgon and loaded some 38 Special 158 SWC with 3.2 gr of W231.
Having now read a bit in this forum, I note that this is likely a VERY light load and am concerned it will squib on me.
Is this a safe load or should I just pull all 75 bullets?
What's the deal with Hodgon? Why recommend 3.2 grains of W231 as the starting point when it was more like 4.5 grs before?
