I've come to the conclusion that i'm not comfortable with my current choice of non- +P .38s for my Colt. One of the things i'm looking at is finding a source of good full wadcutter rounds. I don't handload, and won't be taking it up any time soon (time/ money), so I'm limited to commercially manufactured stuff.
I've done a LOT of web surfing, and everyone and their brother makes a really lame 690-710 fps WC. This, to me, is inadequate, especially since actual V from a sub-2inch snubbie will likely be appreciably less.
A company i've never heard of, BHAC (or some such) has a hot load on CTD, but gets consistantly bad reviews for quality and fouling.
Buffalo Bore makes one I wouldn't put in my vintage aluminum-framed Colt, it's that overstuffed. Also, it's nearly $2 a round!
Prvi Partisan makes one that works out to 803 fps, better than the other stuff anyway; I have no experience with any of their products. Is this reliable stuff, decent? Anyone with recent experience with them at all, or especially the 38WC?
Does anyone know of another maker i've missed with a particularly nice load I should consider?
Thoughts, opinions, and experiences GREATLY appreciated, THANKS!
