[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3207043, member: 41653"] Personally, HS-6 would be about as slow a powder as I would care to go in a 38Spl, and that only with heavy-for-caliber projectiles - maybe 180gr and up. A faster powder is more suited to the 38 Spl. IIRC, Bullseye was the factory load for decades, or at least the "go-to" powder for reloads. I've never used it myself, but have tried several powders, from Promo (very close to the speed of BE), to HP-38. Almost any powder in between those 2 speeds will work fine. [/QUOTE]
