I'm looking for a powder for 380 w plated bullets and 38spl with soft lead. I realize extremely fast powders will deform a bullet and cause more leading. The barrels on both are about 2", so too slow a powder would probably be dirty and not get up to velocity. I want to push the 380 to the high side of the power range but the 38s can be a mid or mild load.
I'm thinking about Accurate #5 and Universal for this. Any other suggestions?
