Beartooth Bullets (208) 437- 1865 offers .360 diameter bullets, I got some from them for reloading for my .38 S&W Victory models. I found that I got no better accuracy from them than I did using .357 diameter 158 grain LSWC. I got the 200 grain LBTFN gas check bullets at $15.50 per box of 100. Loaded them with 3.0 grains Unique. I think they offer .360 diameter bullets in lower weights than 200 grain.

The 200 grain bullets did shoot to what was probably the original point of aim, a little high at 25 yards (2"), dead on at 50 yards.

My 158 grain LSWC load is 3.1 grains Unique.

148 grain DEWC were accurate, but shoot too low, like 3" low at 15 yards.
