Squib Load Review by John

Shooting a box of 158 gr. SJHP cartridges in my snub-nose revolvers last week. Cartridge # 36 out of a box of 50 just "popped" in my Colt SF-VI. A quick inspection showed the bullet lodged in the barrel, about a half inch from the forcing cone. Label inside the box shows: 38SPL.HP.19-MZ-3 18-03-10 *LSM*. Up until then, I was reasonably pleased with the performance of this ammo out of several revolvers. Now one of my prized handguns is tied up in a gunsmith's shop waiting to have the bullet extracted.

Received product same week that I placed order. Fired 25 rounds last weekend striking the bottom of 12 oz. soda cans with every shot at 20 steps. Have hinted to my wife that I would like 10 boxes of this ammo for my birtthday next month. (Posted on 10/30/12)

5-2012 THIS IS VERY GOOD QUALITY AMMO AND IS USED ALL OVER S. AMERICA AND ELSEWHERE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN THIS HEAVIER WEIGHT, I.E. 158 GRAINS
IN A SEMI JACKETED HOLLOWPOINT. WHEN USING AN ULTRALIGHT GUN AS MINE, THE S & W 360 PD, (SCANDIUM AND TITANIUM-12 OUNCES) A SHOOTER CAN NOT USE 38+P'S OR FULL .357 LOADS.
IT MUST BE A 38 SPECIAL, AND A HEAVIER BULLET IS RECOMMENDED. MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS WITH THE TREASURY DEPT., THE STANDARD LOAD, (FBI ALSO) WAS 158 GRAIN LEAD HOLLOWPOINT IN 3" 357'S. MOREOVER, IT'S 50 ROUNDS. FOR "AIRLIGHT" SMITHS OR TAURUS'S THIS IS A GREAT ROUND. (Posted on 5/9/12)
