reload for Enfield 38cal No2 MK1 1935

[remie]

I have an Enfield 38 cal No2 Mk1 1935. Can someone recommend a bullet, powder (amount) to reload 38 S&W brass for this revolver. Thanks

Just reloaded a bunch tonight

I use 2.8 grains of unique with a 180 grain conical cast bullet. It approximates the original military load fairly well. This is the most accurate load I have found after substantial experimentation. I shoot this load in my Enfields, Webley and S&W Victory model.

Always follow your manual religiously and use cast bullets. The .38 S&W uses a .354" to .360" bullet. .357" cast will be fine.
My old Lyman manual gives Bullseye for the accuracy load for a 150 grain cast bullet. 2.0 to 2.9 grains. This data will do nicely for a 148 grain bullet too.
For a 158 grain cast, 1.8 to 2.5 of Bullseye.
