Please recommend .38 Special loads for 158gr LRNFP that can be shot in both a revolver and Marlin 1894C.  Thanks.

I like using Hogdon's TiteGroup powder, it's not as position sensitive as some and it burns cleaner than others.

Here is thier web site.

Here is IMR's

Hope this helps.

I love Titegroup....use it for everything. You just have to be carefull not to double charge a loadl. It's pretty easy to do because You use such small amounts of powder....(twice as many bullets for the buck!)

The new TrailBoss from IMR works well too. There's a link off of Hodgdon's site for it as well. 3.0 g fills almost half a case.....Buck 8) ;)
I might be slow, but I'm mostly accurate.....

TiteGroup was my favorite while I was shootin' smokeless.  Hearin' good things from folks tryin' Trail Boss.

All I did was name it 'n get it started. The posse made it great. A debt I can never repay. Thank you, mi amigos.
