Hey ya'll,
I couldn't find anything at Wal-Mart other than 130 grain full metal jackets in standard pressure .38's yesterday so I wound up buying a box of Remington UMC 158 gr. RLN standard pressure bullets. I was wondering if somebody here has used these and how well they perform. I never shoot anything but 158 grain, standard pressure rounds through my 37 no dash and have had good luck with Magtech as far as accuracy and dependability goes. Anybody know the ballistics of these UMC rounds? Thanks for reading this.
Peace,
gordon

I have found that the recent Remington 158 gr LRN loads are a bit more peppy than listed, generating 225 fpe or so out of a 4" revolver instead of the listed 200 fpe.

Good ammo!

Thanks guys,
I'm just a bit cautious when it comes to what I shoot in my 37 airweight. it's a no dash 1968 model. The box didn't have any info other than not being labeled +P.
Thanks again,
gordon
