Man those are pretty cool that’s for sure..
Neat. With my ex-department service revolver, I was able to snag a holster from the armory that was left by a late agent, and found an old box of our duty ammo as well: 38 125gr Nyclad.
Old ammo is fun. I'm keeping it around strictly for collectible purposes, even though there's probably some diehard Nyclad fan that would pay ludicrous money for a full box. Some day I hope to have the revolver and 6 rounds framed in a wood/velvet display case.
That takes me back!
When can we expect to see a gel test? :D
I didn't know Hydra-Shok was a separate company. I thought it was always a Federal product. I think I became aware of Hydra-Shok as a product in the mid 80s (via a terrible action-drama book), but I don't recall when I first saw Federal's name associated with it.

My avatar pic is a sampling of the the five different .38/.357 loads they initially offered before becoming a Federal product.

Still have a few boxes of these. I shot a small buck with them once ..... he wasn't terribly impressed.

More on the original Hydra-Shoks that just came to mind;
The 125 gr jacketed loads in both .38/.357 were called "Copperheads", the all lead bullet offerings were called the "Urban Police Load", and the wadcutter was the "Scorpion". The 158 gr jacketed .357 load was called the "Hunter". The samplings I had (intended for LE use) were all packaged in 50 rd boxes.
Why do I not remember this stuff? When was Hydra-Shok Corp selling it?
