Hello,
I was digging through the boxes of .38spl ammo I have and I've run across some LSWC of the non-hollowpoint design.
Currently loaded in my .38spl snub are Gold Dot 135gr +P "short barrel" loads, and I doubt that will change. The speedloader is filled with LSWCHP +P.
A certain ER doc a while back recommended standard pressure full wadcutters as the load carried in the chambers. His thinking was soft lead, caliber sized hole, and very manageable recoil. I don't remember what he recommended as a reload, but it was more powerful.
So, what would you load in your first cylinder? Speedloader? Why?
