New LCR .38 SPL.

Read direction booklet.

Has any one every shot factory .38 SPL or .38 SPL +P that actually recoil unseated bullets like the manual describes to test for?

I have some Critical Defense 90 and 110 grain, Speer 125 and 135 +P Gold Dots, and Federal HydraShok 129 +P to try when the snow quits.

Been running mine for ~5 years, no such problems.

Guesstimating a couple hundred 130-158 grain FMJ from various manufacturers and ~100 135 grain Gold Dots.

Thank you.

If the snow ever stops, I will do a few tests.

Neat gun.   Good grip and way better trigger than J frame Smith's.

Never heard of bullet pull in a .38. Scandium frame .357's and .44 Mags are the only thing I've heard of.

LCR manual says to test what you wish to carry and explains how to do it.  Basically fire four and check the fifth round.

Fired eight varieties of factory ammo and 3 handloads with no "bullet pull" noted.  LCR shooting notes up in Handgun Discussions.
