While I seldom frequent densely populated

Areas, I’m actually an advocate of serious penetration. I know it goes against self defense thinking. I more likely might take a shot at a coyote or heaven forbid defense from a bear! Mass Ayoob and such shrill about how bad it is to carry reloads too. Again in my element and my court experiences on other matters, I think it’s a bunch of nothing. How are they going to figure that out anyway, and what bearing?

I’m probably going to just order some 125 JHP and go normal. The hyper stuff would be delicious in my 686+ but the pocket gun maybe not so much. They posted this warning that is probably smart to follow.

One of my favorite old loads was a 158 gr. SWC and 5.5 gr. Unique in .38 cases. It used to be a med. warm .38 load. Now it’s listed as a .357 load!
