Thanks for the link - I bookmarked it. If I would have known sooner I would have got it from them instead but at this point in time I'm just thankful that I was able to at least find some somewhere. Four boxes should hold me over until they start showing up again in the 50 round LE boxes which is my preferred packaging for gold dot ammo.

There was some buzz awhile back about that round not expanding through four layers of cloth over gel when fired from a 2 inch barrel snub. The problem was cured by switching to the 357 MAG version, which has another 130 fps on the exact same bullet.

Speer also chronoed the 38 Special version at 1040 fps out of a four inch actual gun barrel, which exceed the extrapolation of test barrel figures. You shoot somebody with that combination, he may not get a [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvYgcYFLis[/ame]

Damn, I didn't know that MidwayUSA gave dealer prices to C&R holders.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to send them mine so that they will have it on file for future purchases.
