I’ve looked but cannot find what hardness these factory cast bullets are. I have some (100, to be exact) loaded in .38 Special brass with 3.5 grains of TiteGroup. A prolific handgunner on another forum cautioned they are soft lead and only good to about 700 FPS before leading occurs...mine will be going between 900-1000 FPS out of my GP100 with 4” barrel if my calculations are correct.
Product reviews on Hornady’s website for this line of bullets is very good, with some reviewers reporting MV’s between 900—1100 FPS.
If anyone has used these bullets, and especially the SWC/HP, what was your experience with them, and what is their BH?
Thanks in advance for your comments,
