Ammunition To Go : Your one stop for all of your ammunition needs! I prefer the Black Hills loading.

ATK and others will make the ammo however an agency wants it. If a crimp isn't specified in the contract, you don't get a crimp. There are no current specs when it comes to what we call the FBI load, other than a lead hollowpoint weighing 158 grains and normally labeled a +P, at least by the big...

Hornady is a great company. I still like their XTP line, even though it doesn't expand to the degree that is now the norm. Excellent accuracy and penetration with every XTP load I have tried. XTP was some of the first ammo to pass the FBI criteria back in the mid/late 80's.

I purchased 100 rounds of the Federal 38G "FBI load" and have since fired most of it through a 642 and 442, with no problems whatsoever. No evidence of the bullets pulling forward was noticed.
