Recently did an order and my requested load of a 158 grain jhp was out of stock.
Owner asked if 125s were okay and I said sure, thinking they were also jhp but they were actually jacketed SOFT points.
Not a big deal, even with shipping it's less than 30 per box and in my area 38s have ballooned to over 40 per box with taxes and that's for lead round nose.
The jsp were clocking about 950 fps which is pretty decent...but what would you say a 125 gr jsp would be good for?
The lead seems pretty soft, and I expect it would flatten pretty good...
My woods walking 38 load is usually 158 grain flat points , 148 gr hc wadcutters, or occasionally 110 grain critical defense hps.
I have 158 hardcast plus p as well that I'd consider loading if I only had my 38 in bigger predator country for some reason.
