Another vote for Brazos Precision. I have been very pleased with their 380 bullets.

Billy Lagusis (sp?) sold the company to another guy quite a long time ago so that might explain it.

Been happy with all the coated bullets from Missouri Bullet Company, use them in .32 S&W and .45. Still have some of the old copper plated from BHSS for 9mm, so haven't tried them in coated. Good people, fair prices and quick shipping.

I'm pretty sure 4.6 of 231/hp38 is listed at hodgon as 38+p. I was making all of my 38's at about 4.5 but then got tired of rolling one set for me and one for the wife so now I stick to around 3.5.

It really is a cream puff but I have only tried it at about 50 yds so can't talk to 100. It was dinging the steel which I think was about 8" round so I won't say I know how accurate it is as I wasn't bullseye shooting

For years, my go to load in .38 with 158gr lead has been 4.1 of 231. Same cc as 3.5 of Bullseye. Good load that has, for me, filled all the needs in this caliber. YMMV

For the past several years I have been shooting Bayou Bullets. Hi-tek coating.

Bayou and Missouri are usually within a few bucks, depending on quantity, so I generally shop both.

I'm not happy that most vendors have switched from the classic H&G68 to a similar mold without the wax grove. The grooved bullets shoot slightly better.
