I'm currently trying an experiment. I bought some 180 gr bullets from hornady. I cut off the tops of the 38 spl brass that I have.(about an 1/4 inch) So, that the brass goes in easyer. I bought some Bullseye. A fast burning powder. I've had the gun cut for moon clips. I don't think that you can shoot revolver and be competitive in minor. So, I think I have to shoot major. I know that the holes are not as big as a 45 acp, but there isn't anything I can do about that. I'm going to give it a try. I might fail big time, but what the hell. I'll let you know.

Craig,you do not have to cut your brass, just buy 38 long colt. it is about 10th shorter than special cases. when i did shoot revo i shot a modified 686 in 38 super ( had the cylinder reamed ) with 158s and blue dot powder.
