20 Best Powder For Reloading 38 Special (2023 Updated)

Meh! First off it smells like something your grandfather would wear. Don’t reccomend to young guys at all. Secomd the price is utterly preposterous for the small size. I didn’t find this powder to be any better than most over the counter brands for 1/2 the price.

It’s not a miracle powder. Don’t be fooled by the stupid video. No ball powder or body powder should be this expensive and smell this terrible.

If you want to be able to easily seat bullets, some that do not have a beveled base – this is a MUST HAVE -. it the case mouth is not opened slightly, you’ll damage a lot of cases when trying to seat a bullet.

This is the perfect fix for that issue. It DOES require careful adjustment so that you do not bend the case mouth too much. but it’s easy to do and really solves the problem.

This Lee powder through die works great with my Lee Auto Drum Powder measure. I set it up with no issues and proceeded to load about 100 38 special wad cutters for a day of plinking at the river with friends.

All went smoothly with no problems. Loads were consistent and the cases were flared just right. I really enjoy using the Lee Auto Drum and the powder through die on the Lee Classic Turret Press. I have reloaded for about 45 yrs and these Lee products I truthfully found to be not only affordable but very reliable and hassle free for a variety of combinations of loads.

I have never been disappointed in any of the Lee reloading accessories I’ve bought.

I love Redken products. I was compelled to buy this because my stylist had used a similar one on my hair and it was awesome. It never fell flat, all I had to do was juj it and it was good to go. I live in Florida and humidity normally wins.

So when I saw this product, I felt like it would be like every other Redken product I own; great smell, perfect performance, etc. This fell short of ALL! It smells awful, your fingers feel sticky as soon as it touches your hair, it doesn’t do as described.

My hair felt disgusting and it felt like I hadn’t washed it in weeks, but kept “washing it with dry shampoo. ” PLEASE DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!.

I purchased this product after seeing a hair stylist use it on tik tok. I have very fine and very long hair. This has changed my life!! I apply to the roots as the last step of my hair routine and it gives my hair volume all day, night and even the next day.

I’ve been getting soooo many compliments on my hair lately and I credit it all to this product. I wish I could go back in time and find it sooner!! No more flat hair. Only thing is the texture is a little weird at first but you get used to it.

I wanted a product that was non-aerosol to use in place of dry shampoo, I had tried a texturizing cream before this that I was on the fence about, but now this one has me on the fence too. Pros: It applies perfectly, a little spritz of powder comes out with every little shake, and it blends perfectly into my hair.

Also, it instantly adds volume to my roots, and does add a mattifying finish which is great. Cons: It adds a very strange texture, like fiberglass, which is a little unnerving and can be hard to work with, like if my hair was damaged.

It doesn’t do much for cowlicks or hair that has kind of clumped together, for that I prefer the texturizing cream, I’ve been using them together and they seem to make a good team. So far I haven’t found anything that works as good as dry shampoo, but when I pair all 3 together my very fine hair looks ah-may-zing, like, better then after showering.

I’m a 63-year-old woman who has struggled with low energy, fatigue, joint pain, headaches, and high toxin levels and poor nutrient absorption for a few years. After some testing, my naturopath told me that my methylation process isn’t functioning properly, but wasn’t able to offer solutions that had any significant effect.

I discovered NMN 2 months ago and it gave me a boost in energy and stamina. But TMG was a game changer. I can’t believe my energy levels after starting TMG a couple weeks ago. I’m not sure if my joints are improving yet, but my headaches are slowly dissipating, fatigue is GONE, and I sleep soundly.

I’m looking forward to future toxin tests to see if I’m finally making some headway against their buildup in my body.

I just started using the TMG Pro Power (100 grams) so it may be awhile to see any true benefits of using it. I purchased the bulk TMG Pro Power (100 grams) to save on cost, the packaging of the product and the use of the product from the packaging seems to be good.

Again, I have just starting using the product so I am yet to see any true positive effects but also I have not have any negative effects such as an up set stomach for me using the product and this is important for me too because the only way to get any true benefits from a product is to be able to use it and use it consistently.

This help me save a lot with bulk supplement. I take TMG with NMN and Resveratrol everyday for the best effect. I took this form for only 2 weeks. I took TMG in liquid in capsule before. I feel great.

The combination yields great benefits to my stamina, quick recovery, sleep well.

I bought this a few months ago at a Cabela’s store. Contains recent load data on most newer cartridges on the market. As with most manufacturer written books it favors only their bullet selections, but this info along with data from other manual is very useful to the avid loader.

This book is a great addition to my loading library!.

I love this reloading manual. This manual has great load data information and also shows which powders for the most accurate when working up the loads for many calibers. This is a great tool to add to any serious reloaders toolbox.

Great manual.

While I think this is helping with endurance during my training, the side effects are fairly potent. Dizzy spells, vision issues, balance problems and it reminds me of how immediate I feel when I use DMSO.

This dizziness comes on almost as soon as the product passes my lips. I’m going to continue to use this in the hopes that these side effects go away. But right now it is looking like I’ll find something else in the future.

it’s bearable but it will just float to the top of your pre workout and you will feel the texture when you are drinking it. kind of disappointing tbh if i were to make a different pre workout i would get something else for the pump.

i’m gonna say i recommend it so people will see this and not get hidden or something. the picture was me showing the single ingredient in water.

Well I received my products and some of them were leaking, that was disappointing, I’ll have to put them in something to keep them fresher longer, besides that I typically have a great experience with the products.

I bought this as I tend to get a lot of chafing around my neck from wearing collared shirts all day, especially when it is warm out. A little bit of this on the back of my neck, does the trick. It seems to control the sweating which then causes the chafing.

It also seems to prevent the “ring around the collar” that happens from sweating. I also use it on “other sweaty parts” 😉 It also smells fantastic which is an added bonus.

I like it a lot. Very nice scent. Also has a nice texture. I would recommend it to others.

Very fragrant and useful all through the year. A very fine product.

I absolutely love this product! I have been looking for a powder that first, matches my skin color and secondly, does not look dry and cakey. This is my absolute favorite of all time. I have been using this product for years.

I wash my face, apply my moisturizer use a little bit of the ruby kisses BB cream (my favorite) and apply the powder. I have lots of dark marks and it gives me a medium to full coverage still leaving a natural look almost as if I have no makeup on.

There aren’t too many colors but if you find your perfect match, I think you would love this opposed to liquid foundation if your looking for a light finish.

This mineral powder right here has been my go to for days I want a more natural look. If I want to have the appearance of I’m barely wearing any makeup. Dusting this on lightly the pigment covers up my trouble areas.

It’s a good mineral powder I use mine so much I hit pan. I bought at local beauty store.

Awesome product.. it is inexpensive and provides coverage. I’ve stopped wearing my foundation this powder works great for my daily moisturizer

I have two senior cats who like this supplement since they always eat it with their food. One has mobility issues and he is moving around better now. Both have digestive issues and surprisingly this has improved since they started the supplement.

I break the tablet in half and give it twice a day since they weigh less than 20 lbs. I would definitely recommend this product for mobility and digestion.

can not believe how well my girl has come around. She is 12yrs. and hips sore. ..she now has better range of motion. definatly worth buying and worth price.

Anyone who has a dog in pain, try Purica Recovery SA. You would think my 14 year old dog is a puppy again. We were having discussions on having to put him down due to pain before he started it. Plus its a Canadian company on the Island.

I have never had a simple product make me so frustrated I want to throw it through a window. The actual product inside the can smells nice and works well; however, you have to fight with the sprayer to get it out of the can.

I have only bought this particular product twice and both times the sprayer only works properly about 15% of the time. I normally have to push it multiple times and fiddle with it to get the product to actually come out.

Sometimes I get a small spritz and then it stops and then other times it just blows straight air out with no product. Its insane how bad this sprayer is because I later bought the regular yellow/gold spray can of the fresh scent and it worked perfect.

How can just the change in outer design and scent make it all of a sudden work so bad and mind you this didn’t happen once, it happened both times I picked this product up. I do not recommend this, just stick with the normal fresh scent.

Those cans actually work properly.

Have bought many times in past, but unfortunately the last 3 cans have failed to discharged properly, stopping and only starting periodically again. Same problem with 2 other cans of same product! I bought multiple cans at same store and same day, as I have done this in past.

Contacted the manufacturer (Chattem Inc. ) in Chatttanooga, TN They requested bar code# & lot# then told me I must send remaining cans back to them for coupons?? I informed representative I didn’t want any more of the product since having o for 3 success in these last ones.

No offer of refund or credit for another brand! Unacceptable for me to keep buying this product at 8$ a pop!!!.

I started using this when every other body powder switched to cornstarch. It’s expensive and contains menthol – that’s Gold Bonds thing – which I can really do without but it has a pleasant scent and it did contain talc.

I dislike cornstarch because it just doesn’t perform like talc in my opinion and I’m a dude so I wasn’t concerned by the health warnings for women. Well my new bottle contains cornstarch and not talc.

I didn’t look at the ingredients. I can buy Walmart’s Equate lavender and chamomile powder for a lot less and it will perform exactly the same. No talc, no sell.

Very impressed by the Cera di Cupra Multi-Action Anti-Age Cream. Lovely texture, soft and gentle.

My boyfriend is Italian and couldn’t find this product anywhere. Thank you for carrying it at a decent price!

TranslateShow in original languageDerzeit nutze ich noch die große italienische 500g Puderdose mit Quaste und bin total überrascht&happy, daß ich dafür diese Nachfüllpacks sogar bei Rossmann bekomme.

Leider erhält man hier nicht auch noch die Classic Seife und Flüssigseife von Felce Azzurra. Wer den Duft mag, wird auch mit den Seifen 100%zufrieden sein,die super reinigen&die Haut nicht austrocknen.

Auf jedenfall freue ich mich, daß ich meine Puderdose mit dem Original aufgefüllt bekomme. Toll.

First of all, I wanted to use this powder for a purpose for which it wasn’t advertised. I cannot give it 5 stars because I cannot say if it’s good for personal hygiene (or for baking cakes). And I cannot give it 1 star just because it didn’t work for my purpose.

Hence the 3 stars. If you are looking at this powder to dissolve steel/iron, then look elsewhere. I tried it and it doesn’t work. I am not sure why. Perhaps it is not real aluminium potassium sulphate, but only aluminium sulphate.

Or perhaps the stoichiometry is not the right one. Who knows? I suggest you try aluminium “ammonium” sulphate instead. If you’d use this product for something else, then it may not disappoint you.

I used this with great success on aquarium plants. I wanted to ensure that no parasitic worms or snails were left to re introduce to my tanks. I used 3 tablespoons per gallon/4. 5 litres of water and left to soak overnight.

I have not seen the little blighters since.

Made my own deodorant with one teaspoon of Alum, 25ml of vodka and 75ml water. Shack once or twice for a few days days. Put in spray bottle. Works better than Bionsen. I reuse Bionsen bottles.

I began reloading in late1980s with military surplus powder. then I found the powder to be accurate arms ball powder. When I could no longer buy surplus powder I turned to an accurate arms supplier. I’ve been using accurate arms number five for reloading my 380 acp and 9 mm ever sense.

The powder meters extremely well and delivers excellent accuracy in my pistols. It Burns completely without powder residue. Once in a while I will try the new kid on the block but all ways return my Accurate Arms powder.

AA #5 is one of my favorite handgun powders and my go-to powder for the 45 ACP and especially in 45 ACP heavy bullet loads (260 grain). One of the most evenly measuring powders I use. And, of course, Midsouth has the edge in shipping and customer service!.

Accurate 9 meters great (no surprise), is versatile (magnum revolvers, 10mm, 500 S&W) and is reasonably priced. The only issue is that it requires a healthy crimp and standard or heavy bullets to do it’s best work.

The Hi-point 995 has a 16. 5 inch barrel and I read that it is rated for +p loads. I’m about to start working up loads using this powder(True Blue). I’ll be loading cast lead bullets mostly after work-up.

It’ll be for taking the kids to the range.

Nice ball powder that meters consistently in my Dillion Square Deal for 40SW. Not quite as efficient W231 or HP38. I primarily shoot 170 gr black bullets from Precision Bullets out of Kemp, Texas for target shooting.

I also have a nice load developed with 155 Hornady XTP. Super snappy and not too dirty like W231 & HP38. During the crazy hording days this powder was virtually no where to be found, even most dealers had never heard of it.

I cannot believe Cabelas wanted to charge $483+ for freight shipping charges because I wanted four 1lb bottles of IMR 3031 powder. The powder didn’t even cost $350 and you want $500 for shipping? This needs to be investigated.

Most of their powders are $25-30+ more compared to the smaller true gun stores that I shop. 1 star because 0 is not a option. Staff is not knowledgeable…

I use A2200 for my 6. 8SPC rifles and in this vapacity it excells above almost all other powders. It is one of the top 2 or 3 powders for this cartridge. Bullets from 85gr all the way through 110 and possibly the 115’s and 120’s but definitely the 85-110gr bullets.

Excellent powder for top velocities and outstanding accuracy and chrono numbers. Midsouth is super fast about shipping your order and has a decent hazmat charge. Their stock has been as good as everyone else lately and better than alot of vendors.

All hood experiences with Midsouth so gar so I see no reason not to continue.

I love using Accurate 2200 powder for loading 223/5. 56 ammunition, because it meters well being a ball powder. You can loaded a lot of rounds per pound for your money. Very accurate powder for 223/5.

56 rounds that I have been using for 20 plus years.

Awesome powder. I use it in my 556 and 223. 22.5 gr. of powder and 55 gr. FMJSP bullet

Powder came in the mail. It was the right powder. I’m making ammo now. 5 stars haha

I buy it use for 7.62×39 during Russian amp is ban

The product comes in a round container very similar to other powder or mineral powder products and allows you to shake out the desired amount you need. i have uneven skin tone and redness and i found using only a small amount of powder i was really able to even out my skintone.

so it definitely lives up to its medium to full coverage description. You can use this as both a foundation and a powder to set makeup. it was also not too cakey on my skin which can happen with some products.

i usually use makeup forever products and i found the results pretty comparable. I’m not sure what the price point of this product is but if it was in the under $20 range i would definitely consider purchasing it again.

Perfect mineral powder. Light and invisible on skin. Gives that nice finishing look. Would not improve anything about this product. For sun protection it is better to use a foundation with good spf. I would buy this product again.

I’ve tried this with multiple loads and various calibers. My favorite is 129 gr in my 6. 5 Grendel followed closely with a 140 gr. 6. 5 bullet. Both will print extremely tight 10 shot groups at 200 yds.

I’ve tried using with the 90 gr TNT bullets but they are more like 3 moa groups at 100 yds. so I use a different powder for light bullets. This powder us very consistent no matter the weather conditions hot or cold.

Highly recommend it.

I was an Alliant 2400 powder user for my magnums (44 and 357) but with the powder shortage for the last year plus, I happened to find this. It works very well for my 200 grain XTP. 430 cal (44 mag) at 26 grains and I have taken a deer with this load out to 45 yards.

It is a little slower powder than the 2400, so a longer barrel is better to get the full velocity out of it. Compared to 2400, this seems to push in the recoil a little softer, which is good, but 44 mag is stout stuff.

2400 is loaded in my loadings at 23 grains for same 200 XTP. In my Ruger Super Redhawk 9. 5 inch barrel, I can group both 2400 and 4227 within inches at 100 yards on rest. Don’t have chronograph, but they seem to be similar.

4227 is more expensive and you have to use more of it for same or similar velocity is the only negative, but it is available right now from time to time. 2400 not yet. I will probably go back to 2400 when it’s available because I’m so used to it and it’s a little more economical.

As far as dirtiness, both powders are very similar. Remember, short barrels and this powder will not get more velocity than 2400 as the powder won’t have finished burning in the barrel to generate the velocity.

As far as temperature finickiness, I have not seen any problems from warm to cold outside. Always goes bang.

12 gauge loads for trap, skeet and light field loads can be loaded with IMR 700x. I have used 700x since the early 1960s and it works great. To load 12 ga. Hibrass use the 800x. Either of these powders can also be used in the 16 ga For 20 and 28 gauge loads 800x is the best choice because the smaller the shotgun bore is, the slower the powder burn rate must be although 700x can be used in a 20 ga for target loads but data is no longer published.

As to the 410 bore, I use another brand of powder but I have used IMR 4227 with good results in the past. Today there are so many different powders available that it boggles the mind be they for rifle, shotgun and handgun.

I keep it simple and use IMR for shotguns. Be sure to consult a loading manual before reloading any type of cartridge.

I use this powder for my. 243 Winchester and. 220 Swift reloads. It’s a very good powder for these two cartridges but can be used for other cartridges also. I’m glad MidSouth sells Acccurate powders because I’ve been using their powders for a very long time and I really like them and not many places sell Accurate powders anymore.
