For a 'plinking' load (or heavy load), my advise is a 240 grain lead SWC, the 250 grain Keith type. For very soft loads, run softer lead, for heavy loads go with harder bullets, that way they will.... I can't pronounce the word but the butt end swells out to seal the barrel, and give better accuracy with less leading.
My loading, powder puff, is 5.6 grains of 231 over a standard LPP and under a 240 grain Lead SWC for an easy to shoot 650 FPS or so velocity. (Oh, I only use Mag length brass and shoot from a 6 and a 6 1/2 inch revolver barrel.) I use 231 for light loads but not heavy. 2400, 296/H110 and many others do much better in heavy loadings but not so well in light. As you are looking for a light load, look at 231/HP38 and similar powders. Lots of them to chose from.
There are many, many good loads that will do what you are asking. To me, 'plinking' is cheap and not taxing on the shooter but should be reasonably accurate. Pick your components and adjust to need.
Enjoy,
