Yeah Pete,
But for my skill level that's considered "rifle distance"!

... and talking about rifles - I just lucked out on a new unfired .22 Remington model 552 BDL Speedmaster (2006). I'm gonna put one of those fancy EOTech holo sights on it, even if I can't afford it, so that I can shoot the dickens out of inanimate objects like cans and stuff. I'll post a picture soon on another thread.. yippee!

Pete,
If you don't mind ordering online Ammo-To-Go has 158gr LRN Prvi Partizan .38 Special ammo in stock for only $12.95/50. (I can't believe I said the "only $12.95" and ".38 Special" in the same sentence) Since it's for practice only there's nothing wrong with a LRN bullet and that's the cheapest ammo I've seen in a long time. I know we will never see $6/50 ever again but considering I've seen over $21/50 this year $12.95/50 isn't so bad I guess, and that was also practice ammo, not SD ammo. I also never thought I would see the day where .38 Special SD ammo would cost over $1/round but it does now...

Even though I seldom shoot these days, I'm almost tempted to start hand loading my own - but, for me, I don't believe it's worth the time and effort.

what is the muzzle energy on this product?

I ordered 200 rounds of the PRVI Partizan from Ammunition to go, $51.80 + shipping - I hope it's not too dirty.

is the non jacketed .38 special ammo from mastercast very "smokey"?
As i responded to Vitoland's PM, I don't find Mastercast's hardcast reloads to be particularly smoky, about the same as the Speer Gold Dots I occasionally shoot. But I belong to a very well-ventilated indoor range, and that certainly has effect on my opinion, not to mention my lungs.

We used to issue the 681/Pachmayers and Federal 125 gr full house magnums. You'd be wrong about that recoil-at least by the end of a day at the range (several hundred rounds). During semi-annual qualification, I'd intentionally fire the last 14 rounds from 25 yards using my support hand. After 36 rounds strong hand with a strong grip, my right hand had had all the fun it could stand. IIRC, we fired about a 20 round warm-up before qual at that time.

..." After 36 rounds..." Wow 
- I was thinking more like 6 rounds!
