Evolution of Hydra-Shok? Please Help!

[Ohio Rusty]

I have 5 or 6 original hydrashock bullets that were issued to the military (Air Force). They are loaded much like a wadcutter, with the face almost flush with the case mouth. They are alll lead and have the post in the middle. These rounds may be 15 or 20 years old now .... I keep them as a novelty thing. They might be a collectors item someday.

Classic Line in 9BP, 9BPLE (both standard pressure 115-gr.) and 9MS (147-gr.)

Those are not Hydra-Shoks. The Premium and Personal Defense Hydra-Shoks are, of course. I don't know about the other load.

I still have about 400-500 Albert bullets they were called Taurus Brand. (spelling?).they came in a green box I have 38 wadcutters and hydra shok 38 wadcutters. I bought them in the late 1970's or early 1980's. The hydra shok wadcutters are wicked looking. I wish that they still made them. They were supposed to expand to 60 calber. (at 38 WC velocities)

I might be getting some older NOS .38 Special, Federal 147 grn 'Hydra-Shok' JHP, +P+


Anyone have any Ballistics data on these?
