    I don't have a 38 mold yet, last one went bye bye, was using the 124 gr Lee for 9mm, but I am looking forward to finding a good HP mold, or the HBWC, sounds like a fun boolit to try. . In the meantime, pickings are still slim in this caliber, looking at the Hornaday 125 gr XTP, both because it's what's available at the places I shop, and the bullets are available at the local fun shop.
