Found some interesting ammo

[S&W Fan]

I keep my personal protection ammo separately from my range ammo just to keep track of what I have. Hadn't looked in a while, just got done doing an inventory and look what I found, forgot I had them LOL.

The .38spl is a full 50 round box and the 9 is missing 14 rounds from a 50 round box. At one point I had a box of S&W labeled Nyclad .38 but must've used it up a long time ago.

It's always nice when that happens.

I had a box of the Federal Nyclad 125 gr - but somehow the box had gotten switched, as I was labeled 158 grain SWC Nyclad. It was my carry ammo in my model 60 for years, and I think I still have a few rounds.

Funny I came across this thread. I was digging through my Rimfire ammo today and came across an old box of 'Devastators' that I forgot I had!

Those 38 Nyclads are a very sweet SD load for the light J frame snub nose.

Just enough energy and minimal recoil for that weapon, if you have to use it.

Hang on to it if you can.

Seeing those pictures is causing me to have flashbacks to the 1980's.

I don't carry my 640 anymore, have a lot of Gold Dot +P that will go with a 3" 64 I'm waiting to get delivered to my dealer. I'll put these boxes back in the ammo locker.

By the way the price sticker on the 9mm reads $34.95.

Looking at the test results in bare gelatin it looks like it's performance was all advertising hype from back then . Maybe better in a 4" barrel.

Got me to thinking about what defense ammo that I have on hand that is factory loaded. These are what I found so far.......

For photographic purposes only lol

just some info

If you want true scientific test results, here's some info from 1993 from , IIRC, H P White labs on the 125gr +P Nyclad .38 Special
