Smaug - don't forget that the .38s are a little shorter than the .357. As a result, the bullets (esp. those LRNs) may not be engaging the barrel's rifling smoothly.
I should’ve shot a cylinder from a rest, I suppose. At seven yards, it would look ridiculous, though.
I asked folks to take my word that I could easily hold a 2” group at that range; shame so many of you won’t take my word for it.
My only other choices at this outdoor range were 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards, all of which are too far without a Ransom Rest.
The ammo I would actually shoot through it (as my home defense gun) would be different and a lot more expensive.
I’ll try something else; maybe a +P .38 HP or a light defense Magnum load, of there’s such a thing.
i haven’t looked into reloading in a decade, but from the banter here, it seems like I’m in for some trouble finding primers…
