A very light 38 spl load should work fine.............something like 2.5 gns of Bullseye

What gun are you reloading for?

 

[miscou kid]

.380 webley

 

[yomomma]

.38 S&W or .38 Short Colt?

If it is WWII era gun IT IS NOT .38 short colt

 

[miscou kid]

antique,18 something

I recommend the proper heel based bullet and a case of 3f black powder

I run 2-2.2gr of Green Dot under 125gr cast bullets in my .380 Revolver

Bullseye is as fast as they come.
I would use less than 2.4 grains.
