Marko,
You need to qualify your question a little more.
Condition of the Top-break, how much are you planning to shoot it, which "modern" ammo are you talking about. (Cowboy Action loads, Winchester White Box, Handloads, etc.)?
Good condition 90+% and a good bore, i carry a near mint blued Hopkins & Allen safety hammerles in 32 S&W as a CCW so i am talking about modern generic what ever i can get the best price on 32 or 38 smith and wesson ammo. Probably shoot it a few times a month.Dean thank you for your kind response.
PS: I think the S&W Hammerless models are about some of the nicest pocket pistols every created.
Why wonder.........."LOAD YER OWN". For less than $100 you can be set up to load your 38's and even your 32's.
My "LEMON SQUEZZER is .38 S&W,with a 3 1/4" barrel.D.O.B. is in the 1920's.
I load 2 1/2 gr Unique and a 158 gr lead round nose bullet. now, I am not telling you that it is what you need, and each gun is it's own animal. First you should have a gunsmith look at it. They can see things we can't sometimes.
Don't shoot Jacketed Bullets in a break top.
Finally, we all have gone through what you are now. Will it hold up??? Is it safe ????? Be sure, and then start with a "LOW" load.
Mulehide..... thank you for the reply, can you give me any links to getting started in reloading the 32/38 i have been thinking about it. Also i still need to know what models are safe to shoot modern ammo? Thank you.
