I use the Precision One 148gr played wadcutters.
Alas, no stock now and over twice the price I paid for my last order.

That is a great price as long as it's in good working order. Too bad it has the lock.Quote:

It basically has no finish left, and I should probably strip what is left and cerakote it or something, but I just don’t really care how worn the finish is at this point. This little gun has worn holes in the pockets of more pants than I can count, and will be with me till it dies or I do.
I reload most of my .38 ammo these days. If you need some brass to get started and can’t find any, let me know.
FWIW, my 642-2 shoots high with wadcutters and needs 125-130-grain ammo to hit POA. This doesn't mean that the one you're looking at will, just something to keep in mind.Quote:

Ammo availability is bad right now. BUT…Quote:

That will be less of a pain in the ass cleaning and maintenance wise, and a 642 will probably not be a high round count range day gun.
dude i just need like 100 and i'll be happy lolQuote:

As an option the BHA 148 HBWC is excellent, https://www.black-hills.com/shop/new...mo/38-special/
