Mr. 16 gauge,

You are amazing! Yes, the 637 is rated +P and we were firing Federal 158 grain LSWCHP, aka the "FBI Load," and doing well with it. We will try Remington 158s and 110 grain JHPs and 125 grain JHPs.

Adam

Adam;
Here is a photo of the recovered bullets from my test media (wet surgical sponges packed in plastic jugs)



Do you do any expansion testing, with or without your students? Just curious, as it was a real eye opener for me (tested several loads in .25ACP, .380, 9mm, .38 Super, and .38 Special).

Do you cover topics such as holsters, ect? Reason I ask is that our CCW course basically consisted on legal aspects, and little else....everything else I had to get from books, internet sources, ect.
