38/200 Bullets
« on: May 05, 2008, 12:39:20 PM »
Does anybody know of a source for 200gr Lead Round Nose (LRN) bullets sized to .360/.361 that would appropriate for the old 38 (S&W) Super Police?  I have an old Enfield No.2 Mk 1 Revolver starving for correct loads.  Factory 38 S&W with lighter 146gr bullets shoot low at 15yards.

They're doing a group buy over on cast boolits right now for that very mould. If you don't like Lee 6 cavity moulds, NEI makes the correct one too.

Sorry, looks like you're too late. Last week it was still going. Here's the link:

You may ask the honcho if there are any extras out there floating around.

Hello,

Got my bullets from http://www.westernbullet.com/cbip/cbip.html and was pleased with their quality.  Loaded up x50 of each and headed to the range with the following results.

1)  200gr Lyman #358430:  These were my main motivation for buying from Western,  my load consisted of 2gr of Bullseye, WSP primer, 38 S&W Starline case.  These loads shot to point of aim at 7 and 15 yards in my Enfield No.2 Mk1 revolver, with no leading.
2)  125gr Lyman #358093:  These bullets just looked too cool not to try, my load consisted of 11gr of 2400, WSP primer, Remington brass case.  Shot to point of aim in my Blackhawk which was sighted in for hot 158gr JSPs and 2" low in my GP-100 with is sighted in for hot 125gr JHPs.  Very accurate load with no leading.

3)  115gr Lyman #311359:  Always looking for something to feed my 30 Carbine Blackhawk, my load consisted of 10gr of 2400, WSR primer, and a Winchester case.  These loads shot to point of aim at 7 and 15 yards with reasonable muzzle blast at an indoor range with no leading.  Full power loads are just too loud for indoor shooting.  Also, this was one of the most accurate loads to date in my Blackhawk shooting into an inch at 15 yards, with no leading.

4)  Lee #90570 165gr LRNFP:  I've wanted to try loads closer to the weight of lead ball in my Ruger Old Army (ROA) using a R&D Conversion Cylinder.  My load consisted of 8gr of Unique, WLP primer, and Winchester case.  These loads shot two inches low at 15 yards into a nice two inch group with no leading.

These bullets are a great value and I had a great time at the range shooting them.
