next year I am doing some work with Walt Kirst and his .38 Colt Konverters in an 1851 and 1861 revolvers. We may be having barrels line .357 in the end, but I also want to explore the use of heeled and hollow base bullets.
I've studied Hoof Hearted's great post, and will probably get a OWBM .38 crimper and 6 cavity LEE mold. The heeled approach is straight forward. I also know from his post and another shooter in our club, that standard HB wadcutters are too hard to obdurate enough.
Does anyone know a source for pure lead wadcutters and 150 round nose? I thought I had found them, as well as HB all lead 150s, but can not re-find them. I'd probably have to load Bullseye or Unique, as I doubt Trail Boss would have enough kick to obdurate even pure lead. A par has a .41 Colt that works great with the.386" inside lubed hollow base lead.
Thanks in advance.
