I'm borrowing back my daughter's 38 spl 2 in snubby. I'd like to work up some target loads for myself using components I already have.
158 gr Win SJHP, Win SP primers and either 2400, Unique, or Bullseye.

Also:
Some data I found that seems strange is:

Lyman 47th Handbook pg 387, 158 gr JHP, 2400, suggested starting gr. 8.4, Max load gr. 9.4

LEE Carbide Dies data sheet 158 gr jacketed, Herc 2400, start grains 6.8, never exceed 7.6

Big difference here!

Suggestions, comments welcome.
