Hard and soft cast bullets ?

[rebs]

Penn bullets makes a hard cast and soft case bullet in 38 caliber LSWC's. Which would be more accurate in a revolver or does it make any difference ?

So long as the lead is soft enough to obturate to the bore I doubt you would see a difference. Hard V soft is namely going to be a performance difference in driven velocity.

So, how fast do you want to push em?

All i use are Penn bullets for pistol lead. If your staying under 900 to 1000 fps you will be fine using standard lead. I use his hard cast for 44 mag including rifles over 1600 fps. What 38 bullet are you considering?

I am looking at the 158 gr truncated cone bevel base bullets in cowboy action alloy

I, too, favor Penn, they make good bullets.
Bullet diameter matters as much as the alloy.
You might want to just ask the folks at Penn for a recommendation.
If anyone should know....
