My attempt at finding a variety of high quality HPs in .38 locally has not be very productive. Looks like I will have to go out of town or order online. I did manage to get some handloaded stuff from a friend who shoots 38 and got out to the 50 and 100 yard line for a fast test.
As you can see in the thumbnail, I shot at my steel target off hand from 50 yards. Slow fire of course. Not bad for my dismal 6 gun ability !
Next I set up off the bags and a bench at 100 yards. Not so satisfying.
That is the group of 12 round fired. So I am hitting about 50 percent of the time. I don’t think this is the gun’s fault so much as the ammo. My friend had made these for plinking, not precision. So we are going to take another crack at 100 yards pending the ammo situation. So in the future we will try to get back to this.
First part-
Scattered Shots 
That 100 yard pattern is a surprise. I’d expect a 12 inch group or better, but if the ammo doesn’t have much grunt then the projectiles are probably becoming unstable at some point and veering off, given the short barrel.
