I have a bunch of .38spl brass and 125 JHP's and about 1/3 lb of old old 2400 powder. Years ago I used this 2400 to load for my .357 with good results. What I'd like to do is use up some of this old powder in this .38spl brass I have in abundance. What would be a good (i.e. safe) load to start off with? Oh, and the only small pistol primers I can get my hands on are sm magnum CCI 550 that I'll be using. I don't want to use this ammo for anything other than plinking.
