Default Good load for S&W 38 K?

I picked up a S&W 38 Target Masterpiece in a trade this week and am hoping to get some good load info for it. I already had a 158gr swc mould and loaded up some of those with 4.5 gr. of universal and those shoot pretty good. What other recipes do you guys have for a similar load?

For pest control take a 148 HBWC and load it upsidedown on top of 3grs of Unique with a standard pistol primer.Velocity is around 850 fps with no leading and they double in diameter on impact.Bob Milek Border Patrol load from way back.I got pefect mushrooming at 100 yards through one side of a 45 gal steel drum out of a 4" model 10........................Harold

Someone told me Unique is bad about leading with cast!I have a few swc's I can load and alot of unique I was thinking of for the 357 mag.but leaning more towards jacketed bullets and loads with 2400 and 296 powder.I have loaded about 200 with uniquebejind jhp's in 125-158,the 296 and 2400 give more velocity for hunting.
