38 HBWC Factory Bullet Suggestion?

Layne Simpson has a good right up on 38 wadcutters. Remember he was a match shooter. He covered a good many of them with loads and groups. Ironically, if I remember correctly, one of the best was pc coated.

When I use to shoot them I shot Hornady and Speer.  I preferred the Hornady and their dry lubricate was messy like Speers sticky stuff.  For me 2.7 grains of Bullseye produced a dime size hole at indoor range of 50 feet for a cylinder full. Time after time.  Revolver was a 4 inch Model 19 S&W. Didn't see to make a difference if I used 38 Special or 357 Mag cases.  No leading what so ever. 

Less than a minute of angle with a cast bullet in an 8mm Mauser at 465 yards. 6 shot dime sized groups with a Mdl 19 at 50 feet time after time! Man I think you should be teaching Layne Simpson not quoting him.

Let's clean your post up. The 8x57 was 2 inches, not minute of angle at 469 measures yards. The particular Lyman 8mm bullet I was using has over a .400 BC.  It's an excellent bullet especiall for long distance. It's 213 grains so it carries well at distance.

Now as for the dime groups at 50 feet. Sounds good with the "50" in there, but that's only 16.66 yards. As for Layne no thanks. The man can shoot and his 38 wadcutter article was shot at 25 yards. Layne isn't a bad writer like some other's that we have come to know.
