Hey y'all,
I'm working on various .38 Colt Short loads to run in my .38/.357 S&W 627, to use for steel competition. I'm currently using .38 105gr cast bullets, but want to consider going down to a 95 grain.
The question: I have an excellent 95 grain 9mm bullet that I cast, powder coat, and size, for my 9mm 929 S&W revolver. After measuring sized bullet diameters, I note that there is about a .0005 to .001 difference in diameter, between the .356 sized 9mm, and the .357 sized .38. What I am wondering is: If I cast the .356 bullets, then powder coat, if the resulting bullets would run well in the .38 Short Colt.
Has anyone tried 9mm cast bullets in the .38?
Has anyone tried the same, adding the powder coat to slightly increase bullet diameter, to use in a .38?
Thanks
