Hello.....many years ago, I used to shoot a 38 super 1911 with a long slide....set up by a local gunsmith....Eddie Jimenea. I was shooting it double tap and it was a lot of fun seeing all the "two bullets holes touching". I was using a load of Winchester 231 and a 150 grain lead round nose. I don't remember the exact load....but I am sure you can find it in a lot of places.

I can't say I did an exhaustive study, but it worked up a load to use in my 38 Super using the Lyman 356637 bullet which weighs about 155 grains with my alloy. I used 4.0 and 4.2 of Unique. Both shot well enough for IDPA. Can't remember if I needed 4.2 to make power factor in IDPA or if the 4.0 would do it. It was not a heavy load.
