38 cal 158 gr hp/xtp bullet loads for .38 special?

[glockman1980]

I have a friend who mistakenly ordered these bullets online thinking they were loaded ammo. He was wondering if I could load these for his .38 special. This seems like a fairly heavy bullet for a .38 but I may be mistaken. I need to ask him if his .38 can handle +p loads I know. Any load suggestions?

P.S. I'd prefer to use Unique as I am overstocked with it at the moment.

No problem loading them for .38 spl. Regular pressure is fine but they will also do fine at +p pressures and magnum too.

Don't have my Alliant manual next me so I don't have a Unique load to recommend; but then, that's your job! Good luck.

Thanks man. I've actually found a bunch of loads for it on google and they all seem to say about the same thing so I feel pretty safe.
