38/200 or 38-200 Load Molds? Empty 38/200 or 38-200 Load Molds?

Post by bragrhmbln 11/15/2024, 1:03 pm

Afternoon,

I was reading about using the 455 Webley and thought I might try my hand at it! However, I don't have a Webley, but I just traded into a lend lease 38 victory model. My questions:

1) I'm pretty hand with casting- what mold should I be looking at to duplicate the factory profile (they were all RN, yes)?
2) I'm reading the article from Handloader on loading for the 38-200. What other sources for load da should I be considering?

Thank youy!

Here’s a source of bullets

Here’s a source of ammo
https://steinelammo.com/all-available-calibers/handgun-ammo/38-200/38-200-military-load/

For those that have a modified 455 Webley revolver the have a line of 45ACP  loadings that are pressure reduced to not over stress these older pistols.

thank you so much for the leed on the bullets to get me started. the 38 came with some old R-P cases that i will use to start.

do you cast bullets for this? i would like to, but other than looking around at all the mold makers and fleabay and whatnot, i'm at a loss for an old  model to use. my nieghbor has a few oddball molds and he is going to get back to me at church, but getting started is the fun part of casting and shooting for me.

thank you

Is this 38-200 the same as 38 S&W (not Special)?

Yes.  The 38/200 was a Webley/Kynoch adaptation of the round that Webley was already producing the revolvers for police use.  The objective was an estimated one shot incapacitation without full penetration as tested on cadavers.  In the 1920s and 30s this load was carried by some US ammunition companies as the “38 Super Police”.  This was for some police agencies that carried 38 S&W revolvers.

38-200=38 S&W
I thought so.  I have two S&W revolvers in 38 S&W.  One I think 100 years old.  The other a "South Africa" gun. I never shoot them.  When I have time I need to clean out the safe....
