A bit late to this party, but I shoot a ton of 44-40 and 38-40 through my 92’s. For the 38-40, sing a Badman 180gr cast bullet, I get great results with both Herco and 700x. I also happen to live close to a Bear Creek bullet distributor, and so have begun using those bullets.  They have a molly coating, and leave the guns remarkably clean.
  

John – 

What do you think of these bullets? I have quite a large number and variety of them here.  I know they have a light moly coating but it seems their main claim to fame is they are, “encapsulated.”  On their website, they show what happens when you melt one – the lead flows out leaving a thin capsule remaining.

I like them a lot.  I use them exclusively in .45acp for ISPCA/IPSC competition, and now also for Wild Bunch with the .45 and the 38-40/44-40.
