Normally I load 3.8 grains and when it is really cold outside up to 4.4 grains. These loads are with a 200 gr lswc, and a factory recoil spring, about 16 lbs I think. Most of the time when you read about bullseye shooters changing springs they have mounted some kind of scope on the pistol.I too, have heard about detenation in lightly charged cases. I have also heard that alot of people tried to duplicate this and couldn't. I think it was determined an overcharge was at fault. I have used down to 2.7 grains of Bullseye with a 148 grain wadcutter in .38 special with no problems.</blockquote>
