The biggest downside I can see to the .38 HST is the deep bullet seating. It should work fine as an in-chamber load, but I wouldn't want to try doing speed reloads with it.

These were my first and second thoughts, in that order.
Is there any actual fact behind the reasoning to seat that bullet so deep being what they are saying it to be- namely, uniform powder ignition?
And if so, my thought on this was, why didn't they just use a longer (bigger, and heavier) bullet and seat that a little deeper, or maybe even use a wad in the case, instead of making it look like a Nagant revolver cartridge?
As for performance, we shall see.
I can't find any gello tests of it myself.
