Many years ago several police departments were experiencing blown up revolvers when using light practice loads in 38 special. NRA labs was able to duplicate the issue and came to the conclusion that using extremely light charges of fast burning powder could in some cases cause detonation and destruction of the weapon. The powder in use was Hercules Bullseye behind 148 grain wadcutters. You can get into trouble with small powder charges in rifle type cases as well. Stay with the published load data and watch the issues listed in the above posts and you will find reloading a rewarding hobby. I get as much enjoyment out of making the ammo as I do shooting it.
