Back during the worst of the ammo shortage, I bought two boxes each of the Monarch in .38 Special and .357 Magnum. These rounds have the hardest primers I have *ever* encountered! Some rounds would require up to FOUR hits before going bang, including in revolvers that I know to be "box stock" with no spring replacing or tweaking. I hope to be able to burn them up in a Marlin carbine, but have not yet tried them in that platform. I hope your mileage *does* vary, but mine stinks!

My local Wal-Mart frequently carries the Federal Champion line in .357Mag./158grain: cheaper than Academy and reliable primer ignition. Check out the Wal-Marts near you.
