I tried some. I don't remember any big problems. If you can shoot it well in your gun, go for it.

Based on what. My gunshop also reccomended it. Has anyone seen any testing other than Hornady's?
I look at all makers data with big question marks.

Be careful how you store it. I had some corrode severely while in speedloaders in a Kydex speedloader pouch.

I can't hit squat with my snubby at any distance greater than 21 feet and can't imagine why I would try. I usually set up for practice at 15 or less. Any reputable self defense round should be more than adequate.
I did run some FTX through my 4" .357 and they hit where I aimed them.

I shot it and found it's very accurate. It's also my primary carry round in an older model 36 and 10. I use the non-P round but they do make it in P. I also like the Federal NyClad.

It's what we run in our m36's. I have not found a problem with it.
