Back in the late 1970s, I shot a LOT of .44 and .357 magnums using WW296 and H110. Always used heavy bullets, heavy crimp, magnum primers and never loaded below maximum. You'll notice that these powders are NOT recommended to have their charge weights lowered by a certain per centage.
I thought this might be a potent powder combination for .38 spl also, so I loaded about 15 or 20, full powder charge, mag primers with some heavy bullets and heavy crimp.
ALL I ever got with the .38 spls were squib loads, always popped the bullet into the barrel. Very upsetting.
Just wondering if any other reloaders had any similar experiences, with any powder/cal/bullet combination?
