38 Super loads...
Looking for some thought on the 38 super! I want to load 130gr RN plated bullets and have some VV N320 and N340. I also have Tight Group, 231, BE, WST, and Clays laying around.
Looking for thoughts on what powder to go with here as well as a great range/be load and a good self defense or hunting load.
Anyone have thoughts? Also, why did you lean one way or the other on the powder?
Really want to burn up this N340:)
Looking forward to some thoughts and recommendations... BTW, I already have loading books and load data from the companies website. Curious what luck everyone else has had though!!

Re: 38 Super loads...
I have never had much luck with plated bullets producing tight groups.
My 38 super (Built by KC) is set up with a fast twist 1-10 barrel, a frame mounted dot so I can run very light loads. My favorite is 2.8 gr of WST, WLP primer, 147gr bevel base flat point lead bullet, 1.25" OAL, .379 crimp. This load gives me <2" group @ 50yd. Others can chime in with more standard loads.
