Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding a load for my .38 using 158gr jacketed semiwadcutters and either Bullseye or Unique powder. Not looking for a super hot load, just something to push these bullets at the upper end of standard .38spl pressures.

Start with the "start" load for a 158gr JHP or FMJ bullet and crimp into the bullet cannelure. Work up to max load in 0.2 gr steps.

Where did you find JSWC bullets? I haven't seen those. But then, I haven't looked for them either.

Just saw your question on THR. If the bullet is uniformly covered in copper it's probably plated. If the base shows exposed lead it's jacketed and the advice I gave above applies. Is there a cannelure?
