Titewad in 38spl
I was wondering if anyone has tried Titewad in a 38spl shooting 125gr cast RNFP bullets? I needed to load up 1000rds for a trip coming up and the only powder that I could find was Titewad. I was thinking of starting at 3.5gr as these are just light plinkers. So have any of you guys played with it? Any loads you you would like to share?

I see NO info on Titewad for what you are doing, looked online & in my books.
I see in my Lyman book that Titewad is between Bullseye(2.8 for 125gr L) & RedDot(3.2 for 125gr L) on the burn chart.
I wouldn't recommend using this technique to find a load, but 3.0 grains is where I would find myself for the weight you listed.0 -
I agree no data for titewad lots for tight group. Maybe ask Hodgdon.

As you can see, Titewad is #3 on this burn rate chart,

Hodgdon 2010 reload manual sez TITEWAD is designed for 12ga ONLY...the last sentence of the powder description reads... As the name implies, "a little goes a long way"! 0 -

That burn chart is way different than my Lyman manual.
Data says 2006? My book is the newest book & lists Titewad in between RedDot & Bulleye.
That chart put Titewad faster than both![:0] That's why this method is not recommended.0 -
If there is no data anywhere, especially on the manufacturers site, I would pass on using it for safety's sake.
I see you're in Ca., if you are anywhere near Norco I have a pound of Bullseye I can part with to tide you over. Let me know via PM.0 -
Thank you for the info guys, I think I have a pound of tightwad for sale 0
