Have shots lots of HBww in my 38's but got a great deal on some BBwc 148 gr from Extreme a while back and have used them in my M49 snub nose to see if they would work.

Trail Boss, Bullseye, red dot, w231 and green dot have been used from light 612 fps to almost 800 fps with Bullseye and w231 with full loads.

I don't have to worry with a BBwc with high FPS, and skirt separation..... just hanging on to the revolver, with the high recoil in the light J frame, is the main problem.

Nothing wrong with either Bullseye or w231 with their "normal" starting loads that give around 650 fps in a 2" J frame.
If you have a K frame, it will tame the recoil even more, for a great day of shooting.

I tried seating the BBwc flush but the 38 case at around 1.24" OAL seamed to be a lot more accurate in my revolver, with this bullet...............
even more so if you have a 6" barrel.

Have fun.
