I need to find a source for .360 lead bullets for my 38 S&W. Anybody know where I can order some?

Check with Wayne Doudna of Custom Cast Bullets. Just click on his banner any time it comes up in the roation or he is the Moderator of the Cast Bullet Forum. You can e-mail or PM him from there.

Can't speak from experience on this subject, but I've read and been told that you can get satisfactory results from loading 148 gr. .358" HBWC bullets in your .38 S&W. Upon firing, the hollow base expands to fit the larger bore, thereby allowing pretty decent accuracy. Might be worth a try if you don't want to buy the .360 mould and cast your own.

Thanks guys, Im currently loading .358 Hornady 140 grain lead which works fair with very light loads. Id just like something a little more authentic.

There's some good info on this in Handloader Magazine this month in an article about S&W handguns.
