My new .38 special recipe w 158 grain Montana Gold JHP

Got .38 specials working really nicely in my GP100.

158 Grain Montana Gold JHP
Winchester Small Pistol Primer
4.1 Grains of Unique (on my press it required the .49 disc using the Lee auto powder measure.)

Hit point of aim I use for other 158Grain bullets. Not too much recoil for target shooting. Quite accurate. Slightly dirty (not hard to clean, just a lot of soot on my hands).

38 spl through a GP 100 is sweet. I just loaded up 300 125gr Xtp over 6.5 grs of HS6. Shoots easy and accurate, one of my favorite plinking loads for 38 spl.

I'm ordering up 158gr SWC From Badman Bullts to shave a few bucks of the cost. I've never tried the Montana Gold JHPs. How is the pricing?

Hows recoil? I always did about 3.2 Bullseye with 158gr Berrys
