Another Smith M52-2 ammo question.

First topic message reminder :

Hi, Guys. I just bought a new in box unfired M52-2. What is a good load to start development with? I have quite a few 38 Special Smittys but no experience with 38s in an auto. I know people have a hard time loading 32 longs with wadcutters in Euro International pistols. That's why I went with 32 auto in my Pardini. (can't say it's any easier to load for)

I've got Speer 148 HBWCs and lots of Starline brass. What's a good powder? Are cast bullets usable? I've got moulds for wadcutters. Roll crimp or taper?

Super is closer to the 38 spl I think..

BE or WST for the special with HBWC..  DEWC cast are ok for the SL.. most use a roll crimp
