Good working target load for 148gr wad cutter 38spls???
I am looking for a good pet load for 38spl using the Lee mold for 148gr Wad Cutters.

2.0 to 3.5 grains of Bullseye. 2.5 to 2.8 has been the standard 148 grain cast bullet target load for eons.

Use the bullseye load since it have been proven by thousands of shooters who love that load.

Yep. Bullseye. That's why the most common powder slide for a Star reloader is a 2.7 BE (next to the 3.5 BE for the .45 ACP).

2.8 Bullseye and 148 WC have been winning national championships for almost a century.

You won't go wrong with 2.8 Bullseye.
