After posting this topic, I started thinking about the loads that I loaded, used and still have:

110 SJHP 16.0 Blue Dot 1600 F/S
125 SJHP 7.5 Unigue 1250 F/S
150 SJHP 8.0 Unique 1200 F/S
150 SJHP 6.0 Bullseye 1150 F/S
125 SJHP 10.0 Unigue 1500 F/S

I have not reloaded in 15 years and wondering if the above powder is still used. Also do you think the above loads are OK to use in the 66 with the 2 1/2" barrell.

Most of the rounds shot have been wad cutters in 38 casing.

Another load that I liked was a hollow based wad cutter that I inverted when I loaded it. Not for target shooting but a great round for home defense. The soft lead would make one big hole.
