As you know finding inexpensive bullets can be a drag for this caliber. I tried resizing 158 grain, .357" round nose lead bullets for the 38 Special to .329" and with some 2400 got 1850 FPS with very mild recoil and virtually no leading.

I wrote up my experience as an article to shop around to gun periodicals (haven't had anything published in a while and figured it was time to take a shot at interesting an editor) so I won't get into details here. But I wanted forum members to know it can be done.
