The lowly peforming .38 S&W cartridge is not nearly the oumph the .38 special is capable of. Yet, I am wondering how it would perform with the lighter bullets under 148 grains, be they lead cast or jacketed would they perform any better than their heavier counter parts.
What would happen if one used .380 acp 88 grain HP, 95 or 110 grain bullets with .355 diameter? Or how about .38 special bullets with .357 diameter in the 110 to 125 grain class. Keeping in mind that the .38 S&W cartridge uses .358 to .360 diameter bullets.
Putting a .355 dia. bullet to the barrel front looks promising as it doesn't look too undersize. Anyone have any experience with this?
