It's back - Remington 38 Spl +P 158 gr LHP!

[38SPL HV]

Picked up two boxes of Remington's 38 Spl +P 158 gr LHP from Lucky Gunner!

I now have samples of each of the "Big Three" 38 Spl +P 158 gr LHP FBI loads - Winchester (X38SPD), Remington (RPT38S12) and Federal (38G).

Would like to see the "Big Three" start loading 158 gr SWC +P loading as they had decades ago...great woods load.

Do you mean that I have some collectible ammo?

HV,
How 'bout chronographing all three of the current offerings to see what they're actually delivering?

 

[Nevada Ed]

All three work out of 3.5" barrels or longer.
Lots of data on those loads over the years.

Glad to see that you finally picked up the "Softer bullet" out of the three.

Enjoy.

maybe Nevada Ed would be so kind to let me shoot over his chronograph (I'll buy lunch Ed)!

**** I purchased two 50 rounds boxes at Bass Pro a few weeks ago. To my amazement several rounds would bound up the cylinder due to the rims being too thick. This occurred in two different small J frame five shot 2" barrel revolvers.
