Arizona,

Yes, something about .38s and 200g bullets is addictive for some of us :-)

I tried 'em in .38 SPL for the first time about 18 mos. ago or so, and was stunned at the power you could feel when you fired relatively hot ones, while the "push" recoil remained comfortable to handle. When I saw target effects, I was floored. Man, a 200g LSWC-K at 700fps or so will smash a hole straight through anything I will ever need to shoot! When I learned that a .38 S&W can do about the same vel, it was an eye-opener that turned this caliber from a red-headed stepchild to a real option for me.

Will PM some links to what I've posted elsewhere, as well as how I put together my collection.

Yep, just when your addiction was getting under control, you happen onto us . . . !
