Source for .361 diameter bullets fo .38 S &W found

[Jubal Starbuck]

  I was recently looking through my new Graf & Sons catalog, in the bullet section when I came across the Missouri Bullet Company section, where I found 145 grain round nose .361 diameter bullets for .38 S&W.  500 for $39.99.  I may have to try some of these in my pocket revolvers, and I thought some of you guys might be interested in them also.  You probably can find them online also.

I've been using 147 grain lead 9mm bullets.  They shoot great.

When I had a IJ Breaktop I used unsized .38 spl bullets. And yeah, I'd like another Pocket Breaktop.

The  100gr (+/-) 9mm Makarov bullet is sized in the .360-.361 range. That's what I've been using, but another source is always welcome.

Thanks for posting.

Are you guys using blackpowder? Because smokeless .38 S&W is still made by Winchester, Remington, and Magtech. I use it in my IJ breaktop, works just fine.

The load that I have had sucess with is:  a .7cc dipper of 3F APP and the 147 grain lead 9mm bullet.
I took second in the NCOWS DA championship with a 2nd Model S & W DA .38 with that load.
I also used that load in an Iver & Johnson for the Pocket Pistol & J. W. Hardin side matches at the NCOWS National Match.

I use the RCBS 38-145-CM in all my .38's and have tried it in the 9mm where it worked OK.  Unsized for the 38 S&W sized appropriately for the others.
