Hay;
that cleaning stuff cost a lot of $$$$..........
and besides, it cuts into my Beer money.

We don't need no stinking, clean white patches !!

Rather than continue to bounce this around , perhaps the best thing would be to discontinue using this ammo. Switch to any of the 130gr FMJ "range" ammo or the service-style 158gr lead bullet rounds.

I have a friend that has a Ruger LCR in 38 Special which like all lightweight 38 snubbies has pretty sharp recoil. She asked about ammo with less recoil and I added a couple of boxes of Fiocchi 148 grain wadcutters to an order I was placing.

Out of her short barreled LCR that ammo works great. Low recoil and not a trace of tumbling. The biggest problem with it is she shoots so much better with it she want to use it as carry ammo.

Actually, a good hard wadcutter is reasonably good load in a snubby. I have seen it recommended by very sharp cops for their snubby BUG, and I have carried it myself when I had a .38 J frame.
