What defensive ammo are you carrying in your J frame?

You are right there. Joel 47

 

[HAWKEYE10]

I shoot Federal 125gr. NYCLAD hollow points.
Don't know if they are any good or not never
had to use them. I have a model 36-no dash Don

 

[Polar Boy]

Reverse seated 148 grain hollow base wadcutters. Gas check on front of bullet. 10.0 grains of Alcan AL-5. Serious Zombie medicine.

 

[Win]

125 grain Speer Gold Dot .38 +P..........

 

[cmj8591]

125gr Speer 357 mag Gold Dots in my S&W 360PD.

I'm still not sure what's worse: shooting it or getting shot by it!

 

[testhop]

in my 66 i put 1 shot shell followed with 2 rounds of hand loaded hbwc loaded backwards over a good charge of 231 then 3 125 jhp over a hot load of 2400 this makes it 1 for snakes2 for rats 3for hardheads

 

[arkdweller22]

DoubleTap loaded Gold Dot .357's, 125 Gr. Luckily it's in a 640. The extra heft of the steel takes some of the sting out of shooting them.

hey y'all...a few changes so here's an update; unfortunately dad has a chronic ilnness and has moved in with my sister to be close to the grandkids; he gave me all his firearms and hunting equipment; his 642 is in better shape than mine (wasn't carried much or shot much); I also found a few boxes of Remington UMC 125gr sjhp .38 spl +p and they are more abundant than the Winchester WWB Personal Defense 125gr sjhp .38 spl +p in my area; I'm pretty much gonna keep his 642 for HD after a shooting session to get acclimated (his trigger is a wee bit stiffer than mine); with all that said...

his 642: Remington UMC sjhp 125gr .38 spl +p or Remington Express 158gr lswchp .38 spl +p

my 642: same for HD and CCW; when at hunting camp doing chores it will get Mastercast remanufactured 158gr lswc solids .38 spl (hardened for reduced fouling with sharp shoulders and a flat tip)

I'm gonna 'stash' the Winchester WWB Personal Defense 125gr sjhp and Winchester Silvertip 110gr jhp loads that I have left

 

[Magnum 7mm]

Federal 129 grain HydroShok +P in the 637.

 

[acl864]

148 Gr. BBDEWC over Universal Clays powder and a Federal GM100M- 960 fps average at 15'

 

[XTrooper]

Buffalo Bore 158 gr. LSWCHP +P loads; 1000 fps from a 2" Model 60.

 

[Goodtime Charlie]

Speer 135 gr. +P Short Barrel load in my 442-2.

 

[C.S.63]

Federal Nyclad 125 gr JHP
model 13
442
Carl

 

[walnutred]

I either carry S&B 100gn WC or Winchester 32 ACP Silvertips.

 

[palmetto99]

What ever I have around. 148 gr. SWC +P, 110 gr. JHP, 130 gr. FMJ, 158 gr. LRN. Mostly the 148 gr. SWC +P.

 

[thedogfather]

I'm currently carrying the .357 mag Speer 135 grn GDHP in my 649 Bodyguard but the Remington Golden Sabre 125 grn also shot well. I recently ordered a few boxes of 158 grn LSWCHP in .38 special. Mr Ayoob is on record as favoring this load for his J frame. I do know that my old Model 28 shoots this load like a dream ... bang bang bang all day long.

 

[speedingbullet]

.....125gr. Nyclad in my Airweights and either the Remington 158gr +p LSWCHP or Speer Gold Dot 135gr +p in my M36.

- regards
