[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1254505, member: 796"] Unfortunately, trying to make light target loads in a .38 special with jacketed bullets is a way to get a bullet stuck in the barrel. If you don't want to use a 148gr LWC, suggest you get plated (Berry or Ranier) 148gr WC and use 3.2gr 231/HP38 (or equivalent loads in Bullseye, Titegroup, etc). The plated are soft enough not to stick but don't require bullet lube. You should clean ALL the copper out of a barrel before shooting lead, and vice versa. [/QUOTE]
