Hello all,
Hope this is the correct thread for this post.
I have recently come to the conclusion that I like the 38 S&W caliber and want to add a couple more guns to my 38 S&W collection. Currently have a Merwin Hulbert and a Colt Police Positive. Shoot them both and enjoy them. I am not looking for safe queens but rather shoot-able guns.
I reload for the caliber and have had great results with Trailboss and HP38. My preference is Trailboss (1.7-2.0gr with 145gr, .361 slug 12 BHN from MB). Yes, I know there are many discussions as to whether smokeless is safe in the earlier guns, so please lets not go down that path in this thread.
I'm looking at one (or a couple) of breaktops. Prices are very reasonable but I'm not sure which brand is of higher quality. I've seen Iver Johnsons, Smiths, Hopkins and Allen and even American Arms among others recently but not sure which is better.
Any and all comments and thoughts are appreciated. Also, if you have pics, I would love to see them.
Cheers
Mark
