Anybody have an opinion on the Federal P357XB1 .357 Magnum loading with the 140 grain Barnes Expander all copper bullet out of a K frame .357?
I picked up a few boxes of them during this panic when they were all that was on the shelf. They would be for use out of a 4" Model 19, 3" 65, or 3" 13.
My preferred load is the Speer 135 grain Gold Dot .357 for these guns, but it seems to be still unobtanium.....
I know all about the K frame forcing cone issues. The 140 grain all copper bullets are long for caliber and should mitigate this. I don't know how hot the cartridges are loaded though......
Cannot see myself shooting lots of them.
