    Me too! My .38 special carry load for a long time has been the Corbon 110 gr DPX, but since it is now discontinued this HST load may be the one to take its place.

    Ditto. I'm probably going to get a 442/642 as an NPE/house gun, and this load looks good.

    None that I can find. Not even MV.
    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
    disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.

    I am involved in another project at the moment and will not likely be doing any extraneous testing until the Fall.

    Anyone in contact with that shootingthebull410 guy? Maybe he would test some if we sent him some.

    I always thought that guy was about 5 steps above the rest of the youtube cough cough... "ballistics channels"



    EDIT:

    Looks like he hasn't done much for about 8 months... but he was one of the few guys I've seen on the interwebs shoot real calibrated ballistics gel with the proper spec denim instead of using that clear stuff.

    And he could form complete sentences.
