If the plated bullet doesn't expand enough, slowly work up to a max. load of 4.0 grains of Bullseye. Do not exceed 4.0 with the reversed HBWC , accuracy starts to go to pot .

For practice ammo, loading the HBWC backwards offers nothing. For a SD load, well the HBWC loaded backwards was always an iffy choice. I certainly wouldn't go that route today, too many good bullet choices out there. In 38sp, the 158grLSWCHP is still hard to beat.
