Load for 38 special with a power factory of 155.

[DadSmith]

Did you chrono them or just what the book said?
Sticky extraction after 3 or 4 cylinders of rapid fire like a match would be like?
IDPA and ICORE lowered their minimum PF because most factory 38 spl didn't make minor and reloads had issues at minor PF.

It was 5.2gr Hoosier Bullets 158gr coated SWC. LCRx 813fps avg 5 shots.
CFE pistol is pretty good powder for getting higher velocity. I'm sure it will work similar with other coated bullets.
No it was just backyard shooting and testing no competition.
When I run another batch of 38 Special I'll get proof with a picture of the chronograph speeds, and avg velocity. I had it on my other phone but it died and I lost a lot of information because it didn't transfer it.
Live and learn.
