Blue Bunny .38S&W

I usually load a 160gr .360" LRNFP bullet over 2.5gr W231 for my 38 S&W ammo. That combination works well for me. I also occasionally load a 200gr bullet to replicate the British 38/200 ammo to shoot in my Enfield No.2. Herco, Universal and Unique work well for the 38/200.
 
Rabbi, Thanks for reloading this old cartridge. I used to have a Webley Mk IV in .38 S&W when I was station in Germany in the late 80s. I would reload for it using 125 gr JSP and 158 LSWC using French BA powders. I would have kept it but ATF would not allow importation at the time (traded for a Chinesse Makarov that was importable). I have seen large numbers of the same Mk IV and Enfield Mk IIs in Iraq this decade.

rabbi;
When you've got some rounds made up, if they'll work in the old
top-breaks,(same pressure, etc), please run a post here. I may not buy
a lot, but, if it'll work, I'll buy some.
I'm no expert, but if you're making 38 S&W, I want to help keep the
round alive. Just because you brought it up on this forum.
