That's not bad for SD ammo. I would be very interested to read your conclusions and thoughts about this ammo. I read somewhere that all the extra space afforded by the originally black-powder case causes inconsistent powder burn in modern ammo. And the orientation of the powder charge can be greatly affected by position: ie. firing downward, etc. Thus the reasoning behind the wadcutter-like setback.

Whatever the outcome, all of this experimentation bodes well for the continued viability of the snubby .38 as a self-defense option.
