aa#2 load help
I'm trying to find a load for my s&w 19 using .38 spl brass, cci 500 primers, and 148 gr lswc. I have the manufacturers loading data but they only list 148 gr hbwc. I'm not looking for a max load but I do want to get it into +p levels.

I would just use the load listed for a 158 gr SWC .38+P.
Ten grains lighter bullet won't make much difference. |

You are duly warned that this may be just me, but I am willing to use WW 231 data for AA 2 powder when I can't find AA 2 data. I won't go all the way to a max load with this method, but I'll split the difference between starting and max. The two powders are close enough in burning rate so this seems to work.

Why aa#2
I have 5 powder measures, none on them will throw aa#2.
My two loads with Winchester 231 are: HBWC...3.0 grains [Any hotter and they will key-hole on you]. Bevel Base Wad-Cutter 4.0 grains...up aroound 900fps? |
