Can you post a photo of these bullets, please. RMR is not showing any SWC for 38/357.

You are right, they are Plated hollow points - edited above to note.
I don't see them on the site now. I was going to get the regular roundnose - but the HPs were in stock at that time even thought they cost a little more.

Looked up the order from RMR and confirmed just now:
357 158 Gr. RMR Plated Hollow Point with Cannelure Bullets *NEW* - 1,000

I was surprised at how slow they were really. I wasn't paying a lot of attention, but most of them were around 650 fps. I got a short stack of them, call this one done for a while.
