With the shortages I have branched out my interests and am now spending more time with my revolvers. I ran across some odd ammo and I hope a 357 expert can help me.
First, gratuitous picture of my one and only center fire revolver that I'm trying to feed with the ammo in question.
Now to the ammo. It is advertised on the box as fmj fn, which I interpreted as full metal jacket flat nose.
As you can see, it has exposed lead unlike I would expect from fmj. But it is unlike any hollow point or soft point I've seen either. Is this defective fmj? Mislabeled soft point? I haven't shot any yet, plan to do some shooting tomorrow to see if it expands or fragments more than fmj.
