I've been looking at the Federal Micro HST in .38 for a carry load.
Anyone know what bullet they're using in that and if it's available as a component?
It looks like the old practice of sticking a HBWC backwards into the case and loading it near the case mouth...something straight out of the 1950s! I'm sure the bullet is a little more than that, but testing reports say that they get great expansion from snobby velocities which was the whole point of the backward HBWC to start with.
I'd like to try to recreate some practice loads as the Federal factory stuff is far too spendy to shoot on any sort of consistent basis.
