I bought 300 of these 158 gr SWC's on ebay. They seem to be a little big and the black coating is kinda "Rubbery". The seller claimed they were Nyclads, but who knows?
At any rate, I loaded a couple of rounds of 38 Special to see how they'd do. The loaded round is slightly fat - it won't chamber in an old S&W 1905 but will slide into the chamber of a 38 S&W New Police and the 357 Max H&R rifle. I figure I can always squeeze it in the factory crimp die if I want.
What good are they? Would they be used for high velocity loads? Are they supposed to penetrate better? Than what?
Anyone ever play with these things before? :roll:
