The DEWC will stand up to heavier loads, but that misses the whole point of using WC for precise target shooting, which calls for fast powder and LIGHT LOADS.

Learning bullseye shooting with a .22 is lots cheaper, and gets you away from the idea that changing .38 loads is going to automatically make you shoot smaller groups. I have introduced many shooters to bullseye shooting, and usually the first thing everyone has to learn is trigger control, which benefits all shooting.
