WTB .38 S&W Boolits (or maybe mould???)

[Grump]

There are two old Iver Johnsons in my circle and buying factory ammo just seems stoopid with the brass we also have. Willing to buy boolits if I could find them, or maybe even a mould especially if one is in need of a reasonably good home.

Anyone have any stuff to sell, or links to places were I can find such stuff? Getting a semi-ancient brass mould would be especially cool. Would match the Krag/M1903 gallery round ball mould that I've played with a new times.

Unpopular option ......
Titian Reloading for a 9×18 Mak Lee mould to get you by until something correct comes along .
I don't have anything on purpose , just a one that comes just barely to 360 fat for Moms 38 Short H&R .

Accurate has a bunch of designs specific to the .38 S&W, .38 Colt New Police and British .380-200.

36-142H or 36-145D with 2.0-2.2 grains of Bullseye approximate factory velocity and are safe in the small-frame top-breaks.


Another option is to load soft-swaged 148-grain hollow-based wadcutters in the .38 S&W case, seating the bullets out to 1.2" OAL, crimping in the top lube groove, and loading 2.2-2.5 grains of Bullseye. The flat nose is effective on typical farm varmints and the soft hollow-based bullets forgiving.
