I shot 38 special wadcutters in competition for many years, 8-10,000 per year, my standard load was 3.1 gr of 231 with a 148 gr hollow base wadcutters, I have used 2.5 gr of Bullseye also, it's about the same performance with either load, I feel the WW231 is a bit cleaner than Bullseye, but shooting lead bullets is a pretty dirty business overall, the combination of powder residue, lead vapor and lubricant really gives you a dirty revolver.
