125 Grain Spire Point Gas Check (.359)

[RugerGP]

I was browsing the web for some wad cutter bullets that I may buy for .38/.357 and I came across the 125 grain spire point. The description states: "Cast from Lyman mold 35893. These bullets were designed for maximum penetration. However they also cut nice holes in paper, and work much as an improved wadcutter. We find them to be very accurate." Thought it was a real cool looking projectile and wanted to share it.

They even shared some loading data for it.

I see the Bullseye has less the half the powder then the 2400 and has more energy. 5.5 verses 11.5 grains

With the lead driving bands I believe you're still limited to 1000 ft/sec max velocity due to lead-steel contact.

An excellent target or garden gun round.

Not quite true.

I'd still push it pretty fast.
