I am looking especially for first hand experience others have had with this combination. I am considering loading 38 Special +P with 158 lead semi-wadcutter hollow points, trying to mimmick or duplicate the FBI load using a Speer 158 LSWCHP.
I have tried Unique and Bullseye and they were way too dirty. I also have tried Trail Boss, but it was too weak to get it into 800+fps that I want (from a 4" tube.) I do like Trail Boss quite a bit, it seems very cool and clean burning. (Is this partially because of the fact that it is a single based powder?)
I am considering trying SR4756, a single based flake powder that, in my research, appears "fluffy." (I don't own any yet.) I am reluctant to try any more Alliant double based flake powders, such as Power Pistol, due to my experiences. These will be fired in a .357 Magnum GP100, for what it's worth.
Any advice?
