    Yep. They like their lube and aren't nearly as forgiving as a Glock. Gotta stay on top of 'em.

    I think my old CQB could do the 2K challenge as long as I fired jacketed ammo. Lead lube gums up the chamber after about 300 rounds or so. Things get a little iffy from then on.

    Its a bit quicker-burning than 231. Watch for pressure signs if you're loading "hot". I only use 3.5, with 110gr JHP bullets that I got a deal on (and have a ton of), to make bunny fart loads for practice with my 13oz J frame.

    If I was loading a lot of mid-range or hotter .38s, I'd prefer 231.

    I prefer WST in the semi-auto cartridges because it seems to burn cleaner than anything else but VV. And I choose not to mortgage my grandchildren to pay for quantities of VV....
