While there is a lot of discussion of exotic, expensive cartridges here and elsewhere, I'm a big believer in "practice with what you carry" and vice-versa. Since I am not made of money, regular range practice can really start to add up, so let's say less than $20 per box of 50 in the USA for argument's sake, the cheaper the better.
Starting with standard pressure .38 special loads for a light snubnose, can anyone recommend and ideally point to some test results on some good factory loads which are also cheap enough to be your practice rounds? I am thinking that some of the big, heavy wadcutters, semi-wadcutters or flat point cowboy loads might do the trick. [ducks in anticipation of the howls of protest]
Again, we are talking about standard pressure .38 special for carry and practice at less than $20 per box of 50. And the nominees are...?
