as you know, i black-mailed beagle for a few of his PCd bullets(pics of him in compromising positions work well), i tried to give them an honest full on test
i have only tested the 135gr HPs sized at 358
my first test was out of a 357 taurus poly protector, all shot accurately with very little smoke, was pushing about 950fps, i did get leading, was slightly disappointed because the leading was signifigant
so, if it failed at 950, what do i do next? i sized a 100 down to 356 and loaded them into 9x19 pushing 1150FPS!!
i shot all 100 back to back, again, minimal smoke, probably no smoke f i used the gas-checked ones, i didnt have high hopes, BUT WAIT!!! whats this
not a single smear, speck of lead, nothing, clean as new!!!
and i was shooting FAST(jerry fast)
i did slug the barrel of the new cz clone that these were shot from and it sized at exactly 3555, so i am sure that helped, have not slugged the bore of the cheap taurus the first test was from
so 9x19 at 1150 WIN!!!!!
38spl at 950 FAIL!!! but the taurus always leads everything, i presume it has a pretty sloppy bore
