Mine is 2.8 Grains bullseye, 38 special case, CCI 500 primer, 148 grain Speer Hollow base wadcutter. For extra fun, put the wadcutter in upside down, makes a great pop can filled with water load!!
This is a very accurate target load, and when you buy the lead in bulk, it makes for a very economical load.

I learned the hard way to use a magnum primer when using a ball powder like win 296,great powder and the most accurate in both of my 44 mags and 357 mag.Drop-Shot

i've been using bullseye for a long time in my .357 mag and .38 spl loads... i like 6.2 grs. bullseye under my homecast 150 gr. swcs... my most accurate load is 3.4 grs. bullseye under a 148 gr hbwc... very accurate in my 6" revolver.....

For a .38 load I'd go with125 gr. GoldenSaber, and for a .357 mag. I'd go with a 125 gr. Federal.

For .357 target loads:

Hornady 158 gr. JHP
Federal brass - trim to 1.280"
Federal or Winchester primer
7.2 gr. Unique
Very slight crimp.

SUPER accurate load in my mdl 19.
Very mild. almost like shooting a .38 Spec.

38 special: CCI500 primer, any commercial case, 4.6 grains Unique, 150 grain cast SWC.

.357 magnum: CCI 550 primer, Remington case, 14.0 grains IMR4227, 160 grain cast SWC with gas check.

I like the Montana Gold bullet 158 gr CMJ for both loads:

for .38 spl I use 3.7 grains of Hodgon Titegroup, CCI primer

for .357 mag I use 5.6 grains of Hodgdon Titegroup, CCI primer.

both loads perform very well.
