New toy on the way. So I am thinking about a proper +P bullet. I believe the classic bullet is/was a 158 grain LSWC. And I am guessing the the modern bullet is probably something like a Hornady XTP, probably around 125 grains.
I really like the idea of using a the LSWC for practice and as a self defense round. Just seems appropriate for the modern version of the classic LEO backup gun. So my question is this............I currently have in stock Missouri Bullet's coated .358 diameter 18 Brinell hardness LSWC. I use this for my 357 mag loading. Would it be appropriate to use this for the +P, or will the extra hardness cause some unnecessary leading?
Thx Pete
