Congratulations! The problem with 38 Super is the published loads are really dumbed down. You can also go here for some good info.

Or just ask Alex.

Vihtavuori ,makes some really good powders for the 38 Super. The problem is finding any. If you are not shooting it through a compensator or trying to hit power factors there are allot of different choices. 38 Super is like 10mm you really have to roll your own to get the true performance out of them. Factory ammo is like 9mm.
