Did you try the Gold Dots yet? I haven't seen any at my local pusher, but they sound ideal....there is a forum member who has actually had to use a 22 mag to save his life in VN....maybe he will chime in and re-tell his story here.

Gold Dots coming in later this week. tI'll report back when I try them. I wasn't ready to go all in and buy 2,000 rds bulk without having tried some, so I ordered 10 50rd boxes from my local dealer for 15/box.
I've been using full jacketed (plated?) Winchester Super X 40 grain. One light strike on the 80th round, but fired the second time around. I am always very satisfied with Winchester practice ammo for my 45's and 9's. I will need to get something for plinking.
This 351C is so light you can even carry it in sweat pants or lightweight summer clothing where a slightly heavier J frame would cause the clothing to sag and print. The lightweight of the speed strips is also a benefit.
But I too would like to hear from the forum member who used a 22 WMR for real. 40 grains at 1150fps ain't much.
