Default .38 Special 100 grain DEWC
Is anybody loading a 100 Grain DEWC for the .38 Special? A friend has a mold for that bullet and he cast some up. He loaded some with 3.0 Grains of Bullseye and tried them in his S&W 52. No joy as they would not operate the slide.

Have a program called QUICKLOAD and you can run just about anything through it and get your data for that particular loading. For a 100 grain bullet with 3.0 grains of Bullseye you get 645 FPS, for 3.5 grains of Bullseye you get 734 FPS and for 4. grains of Bullseye you get 822 FPS.

Has anyone that has used it got any thoughts/opinions on this?
