I shot a lot of PPC in the late 70 & into the 80s. I used a S&W K-38 & it was a very accurate revolver. We shoot wadcutters & I developed a wadcutter handload using Bullseye that I still use today. It shot litty bitty groups. Some of the guns built & used then were real works of art & would shoot better than we could hold. That was true of the S&W I used. Kind of wish I still had that gun it was a tackdriver. I think if you use a good wadcutter bullet & develop a light to mid velocity load that gun will shoot very well. I'd try the good old well proven Bullseye, Hodgdons Titegroup, HP38 aka WW231, maybe even Trailboss? you'd find a great load. I'd start with the starting loads & I think you'll find one that really shoots. You might even find you stay with starting loads.
I shot NRA pistol bullseye for 20 years & used a varity of guns, revolvers were going out of style then & we mostly shot autoloaders then. I've still got a soft spot for a good S&W K-38 they were fantastic guns.
