.38 S&W load data needed

[stevebc]

Hello all, and yes, I tried the search function.

I have a .38 S&W Victory model in excellent condition to reload for. I thought I'd like to try jacketed bullets rather than lead, so I bought a box of Sierra 140gr JHP (#8325). I've been looking for some starting loads, but most data I've found is for 145gr. lead RN.
Using W231, CCI primers, and the Sierra 140 gr JHP's, does 2.0gr sound like a good place to start?

And someone tell me I'm not going to have feeding issues with that bullet profile... please?

I use 2.0grs of W231 under a 160gr LSWC that works just fine in my Enfield.
No idea or info about jacketed though. Sorry.
