I recently managed to find a good deal on an Enfield No 2 Mk I, RAF marked 1937 dated. Everything's in good shape, now I just need to get some ammo.

I've got the 38 S&W dies and brass, now I need to figure out what to use for powder and projectiles. As such, I'm reaching out to those who may have loaded for this round before with success.

I've found a source for the .361 200 gr. projectiles for the original 38/200 (Matt's Bullets) and have some recommendations on loads using Unique (which is like finding a freaking unicorn around here). Any other powder recommendations for that projectile out there?

I'm also looking for any other potential combinations. Matt's has 150 gr. projectiles, as well. I've also seen citations of a 178 gr. jacketed projectile being used after the Brits phased out the 200 gr. lead, but have yet to find a source for such a projectile or data.

Regardless, I'm open and looking for any loads guys have had success with that I can load up and shoot this thing. I'm not a newbie to reloading, but still new enough I'm not in a position where I'm comfortable experimenting outside of proven load data.

Here's the revolver in question...
