    I found this one https://collectibleammunition.com/pr...ar-pmc-38-spl/ I don't think there is a lot people lining up to buy these.

    Silly question, do you want half a dozen to run through the jello?

    I actually has a friend who has some but thanks for the offer.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    Not Thunderzaps - I have some of those stashed away, they were 100% Nylon or similar.

    Richard Davis used to claim they were intended to be a shock design (I don’t remember the exact terms he used) - they were extremely light, fast and loud without overpenetration. I bought a small quantity back in the day (24?) and tried a cylinder load in my first run 640. They set off an incredible dust cloud at the club’s inside range. I don’t think he was the inventor, but he flogged them through Second Chance.

    Gimmick ammo has been around for a long time.

    I remember those... I vaguely remember the Donut bullet being advertised as a tire deflating "Wunder Bullet"... cutting a Donut hole rather then just poking through.

    I shot a lot of Ultramags back in the day, when I was cutting my teeth on a GP-100. They were relatively inexpensive at the time. Didn’t do any gelatin testing or anything of the sort. Blew up some 2-liter water bottles.

    The wounding rationale of the tubulars seems to be the same as a hard cast wadcutter. Just way, way more wicked. Hurts just to look at them.
