I got a box Hornady 158 gr. SWC/HP from a friend. I’m just getting into reloading for .38 special and the only pistol powder I have on hand is True Blue that I’ve been using for 9mm.
Does anyone have a load they like for just plinking with a 38 special using True Blue and hornady’s swaged lead 158 gr. SWC? If it matters, it will mostly be used out of a 3” barrel.

Got my Lyman book. It has other lead bullets of the same weight at a lighter load…starting at 4.3 and a max of 4.8 (still low velocity at the max, sub 900 and 16k-ish pressure out of a 4” barrel)
I think I might just try 4.5 and see what happens.
