    As mentioned above: for 124 gr, .165 front/.256 rear will hit to the top of the post, or .180 front if you like using the dot. I put Ameriglos on all my Glocks.

    Testing looks good.. Federal has done a fine job in general with this line.

    Recoil is mild in an Airweight J. (130 @ 830 fps, compared with 135 @ 870 with Gold Dot, for example.)

    My .357 LCR runs consistently 30+ fps faster than my .38 J frames with .38 +P fodder. Gold Dot 135 clocks just under 900 fps with the LCR, and is quite mild to shoot (by my standards). This is why I...

    .32 H&R ballistics from a 2" barrel are far from impressive...more of a compromise than I'm willing to make for one more in the cylinder.

    Interesting. If this proves able to reach 12" of gel consistently, with a little bit of expansion, it will be a winner.

    Yep, I think the 180 gr .40 loads are significantly milder to shoot than the hotter 155-165 loads. 180 Gold Dot also worked immensely well for us.

    The G30 is ridiculously easy to shoot well.

    .380 Hydra Shok Deep available

    A new production run has landed -- check Ammoseek for several sellers, with more likely to follow. I've already added to my stash of what is quite arguably the best .380 load ever made.
