    WTB .361 Soft lead bullets for 38 S&W

    Tried some .358 HBWC and they tumbled. Just want to try a few 145/158 gn 20:1 (or softer) lead bullets for 38 S&W black powder cartridges.

    38 S&W bullets are normally sized to .360. A larger bullet might help.

    More important is the cylinder throat diameter.

    My S&W Victory Model and Terrier Model 32-1 are both .362+ and I use bullets of that diameter.

    SOFT alloy and fast-burning powder are needed 2.5 grains of Bullseye or TiteGroup with 146-150-grain bullet or 2 grains with 190-200 grain.

    Keep it to yourself.
