New to reloading, just bought a Vaquero...

Is it a 38 Special only Vaquero? Didn't know they made one. How old is it? My Vaquero is in 357 Magnum which of course you can use 38 Special in.

Any how... for light plinking and such I use either a 130gr. lead round nose flat point (RNFP) or a 158gr. lead semi wad cutter (SWC). Powder is Bullseye with your choice of primers. Most are pretty mild loads or I switch to 357 Magnum for a bigger bang. Then I use Alliant 2400 for the powder.

You might also want to try Winchester 231 for the light 38 Special loads. I will be switching over to it from Bullseye when it runs out as I already use 231 in 45 ACP.

Using lead bullets can really reduce your shooting costs. If you are in the Vancouver, BC area, I would highly recommend you check out OMA Products in Burnaby. Here is a link: http://www.members.shaw.ca/omaproducts/home.htm
