Greetings,
What do folks think about Federal recently re-introduced 125 gr Nyclad .38 Special loading? I am looking at it as a low recoil option for light weight 2" snubs and for use in a 4" barreled gun. It would be in direct comparison to other standard pressure loadings, such as Winchester's 110 Silvertip JHP, Federal's 110 gr Hydrashok JHP, Remington's 110 gr Express JHP and Hornady's 125 gr XTP JHP. How are the Nyclad's expansion/penetration characteristics out of 2" and 4" barrels? I am not really interested in the +P options, nor the "standard pressure" Buffalo Bore stuff- low recoil and blast are the name of the game right now.
Thanks!
