I

I started the testing of the Bear Creek 38 cal. 148 HBWC bullets.  Not enough testing to reach any conclusions so these are just first impressions.  

The gun is my S&W 52-2 with the Burris FF3 dot.  I shot 3 groups from a rest and one offhand.  The results look ok but I’m not steady shooting from a rest in the indoor pistol range where these were shot.  The bench is flimsy and prone to vibration.  I shoot better when the whole arm is rested and all I could do was rest my hand on a rifle forend rest.  More testing is in order, certainly.

An overall of the test groups.

Nice clean holes for 25 yards. No tippers. 2.6 is pretty low ?

Functioning was fine, and Speer had good functioning as low as 2.5..

Yeah, it seems promising.  But final judgement is still out. I’d like to test them in a revolver and I have a python that really really shoots well.  But this indoor range has really crappy lighting.
