I recently got some 138 grain BNWC from bayou bullets but can't find load data for this weight. Does anyone have any experience with these or know where I should start my load at? I have titegroup, HP-38, and Unique powder to use and I'm shooting this out of a Ruger GP-100.

No reason why starting data for 148gr loads won't be a good place to start... found this...

Especially with a GP-100. Those things are ugly (in my opinion), but built like a tank!

If memory serves, 3.0-3.1 of win 231/hp38 is the ticket for punching some uniform holes. Jim
