Help identifying a 125 JHP I pulled

[Low Budget Shooter]

Friends, my brother gave me some old .38 Special reloads, maybe from the 80s or 90s. One of my sons and I pulled the bullets. The bullet is a 125 grain JHP. It has a somewhat shallow hollow point cavity. I looked through the pictures on the Midway website and couldn't find anything just like it. Do any of you recognize it? Thanks, Jeff

I have a gang of bullets from that era still, I will look at them later and get back to you if I have a match.

That is either a Sierra JHP or Montana gold


Win, rem, Speer, and hornady all have slight skives around the exposed lead that this bullet does not have

Looks like the Old Sierra's I use to shoot in my 357mag.

That looks like the old sierras I had in 44- same design, just bigger.

I also am thinking Sierra from the 1990's.

Thank you for replying with this info.

At what velocity will it expand well?

Thanks,

Looks just like a Sierra to me. Sorry it took so long. They expand very well at 357 velocities. We used to shoot jack rabbits with em.

Another vote for Sierra.

Old School Pre-Power Jacket Sierra . That same bullet used to be loaded in Federal Factory .38 +P and .357 Magnum Ammunition.

Just my .02,
