38 super

[BILLY D.]

it's too hot to play outside so i'm sitting here in front of the screen with drool running down my chin and had a "brainstorm". just kidding about the slackjaw syndrome. i was out earlier, but even the gophers said screw this and went back down their hole for some relief from the heat.

back to the task at hand.

has anyone of you tried to duplicate the model 52 s&w wadcutter loads in a 38 super?

my gun: 38 super, springfield armory circa 1990, clark ramped barrel, fully supported chamber of course, marvel 3 chamber comp, videki trigger. and all the regular bells and whistles to make a custom pistol.

my idea, use 148>150 gr wancutters, bevel based, in traditional w/c and single w/c. i'll just resize them to fit my barrel.

i plan on using a fast powder, probly bullseye.

any ideas on load data? would help. i hope rocky reads this. but i'm sure some of the rest of you may have dawdled in this area also.

thanks for any help. and yes they rounds will feed in my gun. i built some dummies and checked. now what they will doo when i actually fire is anybodys guess.
