Federal Gold Medal Match Full Wadcutters , I had a small stash and it hits to the sights in all of our snubbies.
For a reload , either Speer Gold Dot 135gr +P or Winchester Ranger Bonded 130gr +P.

You know I think most of us were a little surprised when Chuck Haggard said he carries ball for his snubby reload during Revolver Round Up but his reasoning is sound. It is the fastest, most foolproof thing to get in the cylinders and since most things don’t expand anyhow his emphasis is reliability, shooting to the sights, and penetration.
Sorry, just ordered 600 rounds of it, Federal AE, as my training ammo for 2024 from SG Ammo so the shipping was free but it still cost me $369.28. The bulk of my shooting will be with .22 revolvers and every two months I plan to shoot a modified Hackathorn Revolver Glory with my carry gun.
I recently purchased an LCR chambered in .22 LR as a training analog and it does help with mastering the long DA trigger pull. However, I make it a point to shoot my daily backup gun no less frequent than once a week and I must say, the first one or two shots out of a .38 after shooting the .22 LCR is an eye opener. I couldn't imagine stretching the daily carry out to once every two months. But I'm also fortunate to have a range at work and can shoot whenever on or off duty.
I’ve had a few air weights and every now and then you just get one like that. Honestly I don’t know if Smith and Wesson could do it on purpose if they wanted to. I only have the one j frame right now and part of that is because I know with my luck if I get another it won’t hit the same way my current one does. That, and they’ve gone up a bit in price lately - but what hasn’t?
Have a S&W Mod. 36 and just found a new box of Buffalo Bore 158 gr. Kieth Hard Cast SWC +P Outdoorsman in my bin.....was wondering if the pressure of these would be too much for a
S&W "J" Frame...
Ideally, contact BB for their advice. That said, all steel, model-marked S&Ws are +P rated. But with that said, all BB "+P"s are usually a little (or a lot) more "+" than most everyone else's offerings.
Bigger charge always equals faster wear in any gun. Your Model 36 nonetheless should adequately "handle" limited use of the round -- but will you? That is a thumper of a load intended for four-leggeds. What are you looking for from it?
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
