While I cast most of my bullets, in my Model 19 I load Hornady’s 158 grain swaged hollow point in a .357 case with a hefty but not insane load of 2400.
If I were to need it for SD, leading would be my least concern.
Not super-new, but I wouldn’t want to get in front of it.
I have great respect for the .38 Special. But in it I prefer a heavier, slower, non-expanding bullet.
