Accuracy will be generally poor shooting .38 Special cartridges in that gun, as the Long Colt bore is a bit oversize if I am remembering correctly. I wouldn't shoot ANY full-charge .38 Special cartridges in it, but an old Colt that I had in that Long Colt chambering did O.K. with factory mid-range hollow-base wadcutters or equivalent handloads. The hollow base apparently flared out enough to take the rifling pretty well.
