Every off the shelf .38 SW I have seen is still the old failure lead round nose bullet. I would think if you could find some that had at least something like a flat round nose of some sort that might make a difference. If a SWC could be found for it then I would be much more at east with that. But again, I have never seen such ammo loaded in .38 SW. You could always try casting your own. I bet you could buy a cheap Lee two cavity mold, cast a pair of bullets, coat the mold cavity with a mild abrasive, drill the back of the two bullets to hold some screws, and use a drill bit to slowly spin them and check every so often until you get the desired cast diameter from them. It would take some work but the results might really be worth it in the long run. You could even sell the mold as being good for .361 or .362 diameter bullets after you cast enough of them for your needs. And reloading or casting equipment sells pretty well even used.
