Hey guys, I'm new to reloading (as in the Lee Anniversary press is still in the box, the die set is being shipped this weekend).
I will be loading mainly for .38 spc but also for .357 (I have a 50th Anniversary Blackhawk, my stepfather has an assortment of S&W and Colt .38spc revolvers). To date, my favorite factory load has been the police issued .38+P that my LEO brother-in-law let me try.
To begin with, I'd like to go with only 1 powder and was thinking of starting with Winchester 231 based on the recent thread here about favorite .38 loads. Is there another powder I should consider at this point that would be a good choice for both chamberings?
Of note, I'm about 1/2 way through the ABC's of Reloading and haven't started reading through the Lyman's 49th edition manual. I don't plan on starting any loads up until I've finished ABC's and looked through the charts in Lyman's.
Any help would be appreciated,
Stephen
