The 38 Auto is an easy cartridge to hand load...
Graff's has brass for the 38 Auto (probably made by Star-Line.)
I load the 38 Auto with either the Barry's 130gr. copper plated bullet or the Xtreme 124 gr heavy plated bullet... both work well...
For loading data I use the advice Hodgdon published some years ago... I use the published starting 38 Super load for the bullet Im using reduced by 5%. Then I work back up to a load that does not exceed the published starting 38 Super load for the bullet/powder I'm using. This has worked well and does not seem to have stressed my old guns at all...
FWIW
