Sorry, GLL. I missed your post. I’m thinking of the 38 Special 148 grain double ended wadcutter upsized to 44. I’d guess that would be in the 200 grain range.
This is EXACTLY what I had in mind, Al. Most of my shooting is in the backyard with family and friends shooting paper at 25 yards (occasionally at 50 and 100). This looks like just the trick for a mild, accurate load. THANKS (again)!
