I am looking for a good all around .38 load. It will be used as a genral purpose load, I am thinking with a 158 grain softpoint, it will be shot in a .357 so warm is not an issue. JB

I just used to shoot the cheapest loads I could find in .38 then use a quality .357 load when it was appropriate.

If you are looking for factory loads Win. & Rem both make a reasonably priced 158gr +P JSHP that performs very well. Walmart carries them.
For a hand-load I use 5.0 - 5.2gr of Ramshot True Blue for 148 & 158gr bullets. Very accurate but a bit dirty and not as hot as the +P loads.
