Like John said, black powder 38 Specials work just great.

That is my plan. I need to try the new 150 grain RNHB bullets that Bear Creek has now. I had no luck with their 140 grain heel base bullets, even after buying the special crimping tool. I had to cut down about 50 38 Special brass to 38 LC length. Before that I tried using 38 Short Colt brass with the heel base bullets. With smokeless and the heel base you cant get enough bullet pull to stop them from Blooping. Black fixes that but accuracy was elusive. So, I'll try the hollow base bullets..............
