Remington FBI load?

[Nevada Ed]

Yes the Remington FBI has a great or at least a GOOD street record, in all the years that it was used.

I might also add, that my old notes of the pre '98 load, show it doing 861fps out of a J frame snub nose.
I have no idea of what this load does in todays loading, since I now buy other SD ammo for my J frame.

Buffalo might be great stuff, just that I could not force myself to pay that much for less loadings.
Yes, some say price is no issue for a load that works.
Safe shooting.

Yes, the old Remington's performed much better than the more recent ones have. I actually chronographed the old and the new when Remington changed the packaging and the name a few years ago. They claimed it was the exact same load, but after shooting them through the Chronograph I can tell you they are full of it!

For what it's worth and while not the Remington load Georgia Arms does load a .38 Special, Plus P 158 grain LSWHP load which is available on their Website. I have shot them but not done anything else with them. Just food for thought ref availability.

And Georgia Arms are great ppl to deal with.

Hmmmm...

Reading the thread, I had a thought: Even if the various "FBI loads" with the LSWCHP bullets don't expand very well,(?) with their higher velocity, wouldn't they be equally or more effective than the various full wadcutter target loads favored by some as good SD rounds, given correct placement?

I chronographed some of this through a 2" M60 two years ago and averaged 811 FPS.
