Found this video from a few years ago. This is THE LOAD and is being fired in a M686 with a 6" barrel.

That is the load I shoot in my 34-44 HD with Berrys 158 gr plated bullets.
Out of the 5" MV was 1155 fps.
Don't think I would shoot it out of a "J" or "K" frame much if at all.

I gotta ask, Skip Sackett, what's the story on that uber wadcutter/mini man stopper bullet? I was given a handful of the Webley .455 flat bullets awhile back and thought they'd be a great choice for 38 if they existed. Thanks.

JW,
That is a 160gr bullet I cast from a Modern Bond mould I have. It is pretty cool and I have at least one friend that carries them for self defense loads. I have a snubby that is stoked with them too.

Posted this in another forum, IO.
I have a 358156 or 7 I guess, after being hollowpointed by Eric Ohler..I think that was his name. I use the real Skeeter load, 13.5 grs of 2400 in a .38 spec. case. Using my 6" M-28 tried it out on 5 one gallon plastic bottles lined up a couple of weeks ago. first three pretty much came apart, fourth had a hole in it and the fifth looked untouched until I saw a small leak and noticed a .38 calibre collar button sitting in the bottom of the last jug. This is one of my favorite .38 molds, is very accurate in hp and solid form. I'm going to try casting with a softer alloy and work up a nice non +p load for my Colt Cobra

Groo here
One thing that all should consider is the exact mix for this load..
A heavy frame or gun proofed for 38-44 loads, 38 cases not necessarily
+p, the Keith load of 2400 powder . and a Keith bullet!!!!!
Said bullet designed for the 38-44 short cylinder guns to use the full length and increasing the powder room.[ not the short nose swc bullets we see most places],
This gives you about the same powder room as a 357 with a standard bullet.
It is a very specific combination....
