I just started loading metallic cartriges this week.I'm starting with .38 spec and +P's. I have Red Dot from shotgun and bought Unique, Bullseye, and HS-6 powder. I have Speer #4217 158gr JSP bullets. I also have Rem.1 1/2 and Win. small primers. I need some load data for these componets. Seems like all the manufactor websites have data for componets I don't have. Any and all help please.

  Anyone using Missouri Bullet or Oregan Trail lead in .38/.357?

  The crimp on straight wall cases are very important. The best load without a crimp will just go poof. You lose all consistency and what goes bang one time will go poof the next. EVERYONE should own the Lyman reloading manual and the more manuals the merrier.
  
  If you are stuck on the internet, go to Hornady's site and read everything about reloading on there. You have to understand ballistics to produce a good, safe load.
