    That round is too long to fit in some 38 cylinders

    Yes that round. It might work in a 357 cylinder

    Thanks for the advice.

    I'm not so sure what to make of the wadcutter suggestion; it's not super encouraging if modern bullet design hasn't been able to make functional JHPs that are at least as good as the retro fare.

    It's difficult to get reliable expansion out of a hollow point at low velocities.

    Cor-Bon DPX 110gr.+P work well out of my Ruger LCR. Less recoil than Gold Dot Short Barrel, good expansion and penetration.

    I have been informed by Atomic that they have shortened the length of their 38 load. They say it was done in 2014 and the newer round should fit perfectly in every 38/357. I also was told that Tombstone Tactical in Arizona has the new stuff. No idea if the stuff really performs or not.

    Never ordered from these guys but if you want the Atomic 38 this is who they say has the new
