I bought a box of these rounds years ago at a gunshow, I believe they were surplus from the Cincinnati police dept. when they went away from revolvers. They are headstamped WCC +P+ 85. I tried 10 of them in a model 15 snubbie to see what the hubbub was about these. Impressive blast in the snub gun. And they made my ears ring with muffs and plugs firing outdoors! Yow. I put the rest away and never tried another round. Addendum: the massive disclaimer on the bottom of the box does call them treasury loads, and says they are loaded 15-20% higher than +P, which they spec at 23500 CUP. They also forbid firing in LW and alloy frames, they say right out it will wreck them!
