Will a speed loader for a Smith Chief work for an Iver Johnson break top in .38 S&W?
Looking at the two cartridges, the rims appeared to be very close in diameter. So I tried the .38 S&W cartridges in a H&K loader meant for a K frame .38Spl. and they locked in perfectly. Being shorter, a little stubby looking, but it worked.
Don’t know if the J frame cylinder spacing would work for the IJ though.
Anyone know, or have all that’s necessary to find out?
Thanks
