...if you come across a box of Hornady XTP in 115 grain, try an HP-38/W231 load for self defense. Lyman manual has loads for it: 2.0 to 3.1 grains, oal 0.956". You exceed 900 fps before getting to max load, and it cycles nicely. You will be very pleased.

I got two boxes of 115 grain XTP at Bass Pro Shop for $13 each, then they went up to $15 or so. Still a good price for prime HD bullets, especially since they load so easily and shoot so nicely.


Ants, thanks for that heads up on the 115gr Hornadys. I was at Bass Pro recently but didn't know they carried anything but rifle bullets. I'll keep my eyes peeled.
