Reloading Help Needed

[BBCAP]

I'm looking for information on reloading .38 Short Colt and .38 Long Colt with a 125 grain lead RF using Winchester 244 powder. Someone suggested 3.5 grains in the Short Colt but I feel that's extremely hot. Shooting it through a S&W 66 .357 Mag. Any thoughts? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

I would not go based off of what people tell you and go with published data.

Thank you. I filled out the request. We'll see what happens. I appreciate the advice.

I agree. Unfortunately, there isn't much info out there these obsolete calibers, especially with newer powders like WinClean 244.

@BBCAP Those are sound tough cartridges to find load data for. Checked my Speer, Hornady, Lapua, and Book of Cartridges and none of them list those cartridges. Hodgdon is certainly your best bet.

Thank you very much for checking for me. I appreciate you looking. Very tough to find info for them. I have loading data for Bullseye that I used, but it's too messy. I want to try the WinClean 244 since it's a cleaner powder. I emailed Hodgdon. We'll see what happens. Thanks again.
