Anybody have any input on this new round? Im carrying 158gr LSWC in my older detective special now that the weather is getting warmer. This stuff looks like it could solve the problem for those of us that cant carry +p ammunition.

Its a low recoil load that expands well in bare gel while still penetrating 12" when fired from a 2" Brl.

However if you shoot someone wearing 4 denim jackets it probably wont expand and will shoot completly through him.
