This load was designed for those who need a deep penetrating 357 Magnum or 38 Special load to be fired from lightweight alloy 357's and any 38 Special revolver. This load offers a deep penetrating "outdoor" type of load for lightweight pocket 357 handguns. It utilizes a hard flat nosed bullet, at sufficient velocity, even from 2 inch barrels, to fully penetrate a gator or a bear in the head. This load is safe to shoot in all 38 Spl and 357 Magnum firearms of modern design in normal operating condition. In super lightweight alloy revolvers (around 11-12 oz.), the bullet will not jump crimp under recoil, provided you do not subject an unfired round to more than 5 or 6 firings. In all steel guns, even short barreled ones, crimp jump is not an issue due to weight. This load utilizes a flash retardant powder that will not blind the shooter in low light conditions, which is important as wildlife and criminals get much more active when darkness comes.
