I shoot the SWC with a single lube groove in my .38 Specials. Should work just fine if you keep the velocities on the lower side.

I have a good many of the 180 SWC for the .40 I got for a .38-40. Those leaded the barrel if loaded too hot.



If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

I shoot a lot of those in .38 & .357 mag
3gr of Bulls Eye in a 2" S&W .38 , and 6 gr Unique in a 3" S&W 357. Bullets vary in hardness from easy to scratch with a thumb nail to pretty darn tough. No leading with any of the loads.


Hang on TITE !!

One thing I see with the hollow point is that not to many are in the center of the point. hope it does not affect the accuracy.

I load them to a 1000 fps for a nice self-defense load they are a swaged bullet so not very hard.

They expand and work well.
