    Question Lost my cheat sheet

    I reloaded 38 S&W years ago. I use Bulleye powder, 145 grain lead bullets from Missouri bullet co. I've been looking on the net but find any data. Can you help me out ? Thanks Joe

    Try this page on for size. http://www.reloadammo.com/38sw.htm

    Bullseye is an Alliant powder, but their reloading data does not include Bullseye. Different loads are offered for Top Break or solid frame revolvers. Don't forget! test test test! Start about 10% below listed load and work UP!

    Per. 42nd edition Lyman reloader's handbook (YUP I am OLD).

    146 lead start 2.0gr. bullseye 710 fps.

    146 lead MAXIMUM 3.0gr. bullseye 810 fps.

    Please start low and develop a load.

    The 1980 Hercules Reloaders Guide lists 2.2 grains Bullseye maximum with a 145 grain lead bullet.

    If you IM me your email, I will send you a picture of the page.

    NRA : "Handloading" manual circa 1980's list 2.4 bullseye with 145 gr lead RN.
    As advised start low (10%) work up.
    It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.
