Lyman says nothing, Hornady says nothing, Lee die sheet says start at 4.2 and 4.4 max, Alliant site has no loads for herco in .38 special any more, but the older stuff I have from the 90s has 4.5 max for 158 LSWC.
This guy http://smith-wessonforum.com/reloading/270028-38-special-158gr-lrn-study-part-4-a.html used 5.2 grains...
Any advice?
While we're on the subject, I'd also like to start loading .45 ACP (230 MBC "softball), 9mm (MBC 124 "smallball", and .40 (140 gr MBC IDPA and 180 grn MBC lead) with Herco if possible. I have 4 pounds of it and I hear good things.
