Only problem I have run into with 38 snubies is if you go too light, then they apparently won't stabilize. Had a friend coming over with his wife to try out "her" new 38 lightweight snubby. Figured I better load a few rounds a little lighter(158 SWC). Dropped the Bullseye charge by .2 grains. Wouldn't shoot good in her gun or my M10 snubby. Grabbed the standard load(.2 grains more powder) and both shot better than the shooters.
