Never mind....no one can give a simple answer to a simple question

From Pettifogger..

Since you seem to be an expert on light loaded smokeless rounds, let me ask you a "simple" question.  What is the absolute minimum load I can shoot in a .38 Special that will meet the SASS minimum power factor of 60?  That's it, that's all the information you get.  Give me some recipes for an absolute minimum load that will make a 60 power factor at my next match.

I wasn't gonna say a word, sounds like the folks here gave some very good suggestions and advice of where to start. I just couldn't say gamer and darkside at the same time.

The question wasn't intended to be pejorative or finger pointing, it was just a calm, clear, question intended to point out a few problems with LR's question.  No one can determine a minimum load of anything because there are so many variables.  For black powder or the subs barrel length, cylinder gap, throat dimensions, internal barrel dimensions, primer type, bullet type, bullet weight, bullet lube or lack thereof, the type and amount of crimp, powder compression, and a host of other factors affect the quantify of smoke produced.  Heck, I've got pictures where a shooter was photographed from one side and you couldn't see him for the smoke.  Then a photo was taken from the other side and there was almost no visible smoke.  Why, because of the angle of the sun.  NO ONE can print a bare minimum load for the BP smoke standard or for the smokeless powder power factor standard because of these variables.
