Was given 8lbs of Nitro 100, I have loaded my wife's 32 S&W longs with 2.0 gr and it works fine.  Need a load for 38 sp w/90 and 115 gr bullets. ???

not possible...Nitro 100 is listed as a shotgun powder, they have no data for cartridge loads. I have used it in 32 just needed to know if anyone has used it in 38 sp.

Simple, if they don't list it, don't do it.  They folks at Accurate Arms know far more about their powder than anyone here does.  If they don't have it listed they have their reasons.  Much safer to play with rattlesnakes than dive off into the unknown like that with smokeless powders. ::)

Birdshot does not work for AA, but for Hodgdon, but what he has to say in this thread should be read by every reloader 3-4 times.

N100 is listed as a .38 Special Powder in the Accurate 2003 and 2008 reloading quide.  I tried to copy info but it just pasted jibberish.  I will email both manuals if that would help.
