After a box or two of .38 Specials at the range, I enjoy a cylinder or two of .357's from my 3.5" or 5" 27's.
For me, these Federal Red Box .357's are a good price, shoot as well as I can, have recoil I can manage,
and are not hollow points (which is a significant issue in NJ).
How do these rate in terms of recoil compared to other factory loadings.
The specs from Midway are as follows:
158 grains
1240 FPS
Jacketed Soft Point
