    Jug of a 130-gr HP .38 cal bullet - anyone recognize it?

    Does anyone know what this thing is?

    Usually, it's pretty easy to figure out what the Factory Seconds are, but I can't remember seeing this before.

    That is my guess as well, or maybe the Hydra Shok micro.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    Can I load these backwards so they act like a wadcutter?

    These blems may or may not have cannelures, which in this instance assists in binding jacket to lead. Loaded as wadcutters into .357 brass and with a powder charge of 4.0 Bullseye, they would achieve about 900fps from a 4 inch barrel. Or, if the bullet were seated out as are other bullets, this might indeed be a big performer. One word of caution, though, is those examples lacking cannelures might run the risk of jacket/bullet separation even though the ends are crimped.
