Default Found some lead semi wadcutter hollow point in 38 cal. today

I was in one of my local gun stores picking up some shoot n see targets today. They are the only place around me that sells reloading supplies. They have tons of stuff just kind of piled up everywhere most with a layer of dust on it. They keep their projectiles behind the counter and have a little of evrything. I seen a container that did not originally hold what I bought but hand label with what said lead hp. So for $12 for 100 I figured what the heck I will give them a try. Only reason I posted about it is I have never seen a lead bullet in that particular configuration. Most hollow points are jacketed and can be pushed very hard. I loaded up 30 in 357 cases over about 6 grains of HP38. I will go to the range and see how well this works. I have loaded up my 44 cases with lead swc over a bottom of the range Lil gun charge and it worked well. Hopefully I won't get any leading to clean up. Anybody else try this combo? How did you like?
