Try "Clays"
Loading .38 Special I cast Lee 158 grain .358" SWC tumble lube,
3.0 grs. Clays (I started at 2.8 grs.)
CCI small pistol primers

Please note: My cast bullet lead is considerably harder than any purchased Lead cast bullets. For that reason I may be losing velocity. Clean burning and low recoil.
