Thread: .38 138 grain wadcutter loads

    .38 138 grain wadcutter loads

    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!
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

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