Federal Gold Medal 38WC

Federal has GMM 38wc available on their site as I type this. Does this ammo share the same reputation as their GMM 45swc 185 gr?

Would like to try it, but not available to us New Yorkers.

I don’t know if current Federal 38 WC is deserving of a high reputation, but the older stuff certainly does.  Even as old as it is, it still shoots very well.  They don’t make it in as large of a quantity, and I’m sure that personnel changes mean that some of the know-how may have been lost.  Old ammo was acceptance testing was that it had to shoot 10 shots into a group about 1.7-2 inches.  The X-ring is 1.7 inches, so it had to shoot very well.  As for current production, I can’t say.
