I shoot American Eagle .357 Magnum
Target flat nose half jacket
Grain Weight: 158
Muzzle Velocity: 1240
From my 3.5" 27-2 with wood target grips
The recoil and boom is a bit dramatic for me
Just got a 2.5" Model 19-3 and not looking forward to shooting the above ammo in that gun
QUESTION
Is there a downloaded .357 magnum self defense round that would be between the above ammo and +P38 Special
Or will the +P 38 Special with modern bullets be plenty
Yes, it is called 38 Special. Use either the "FBI load" or the Speer short barrel load. Or, use the 38 Heavy Duty Load, still made by Buffalo Bore, called the Outdoorsman, a 158 grain at 1,250 fps.
