Load check - Help needed
« on: June 12, 2004, 02:34:57 PM »
I am reloading some 38 specials with some lead bullets that weigh 148 grains.  I am using Bullseye powder.  The local gunsmith (who shoots a lot of 38 rounds) said to use 3.5 grains of bullseye.  

Is this a safe load?  I see in the nosler book that the max load of 4.1 grains of bullseye with a 158 grain jacketed hollow point.  I can't however find any accurate data on 148 grain lead wad cutters.

Anyone with good load data to help is greatly appreciated.
