[QUOTE="Bscman, post: 1427532, member: 18542"] First off, there is no SAMMI specs for a +P .357 Magnum. Second, +p won't do you any good if you don't have the barrel length to take advantage of it. +P ammunition means they pack an extra .2-.3 grains of powder behind the same bullet. IF you already can't take advantage of the powder you have, you sure can't take advantage of more. Kind of like a high horsepower rear wheel drive in the rain. You can add all the throttle you want, but you're still just going to waste gas spinning tires and getting nowhere. Anyone heard of the new "Short Barrel" loads that many manufacturers are producing for self defense ammunition? There is a common misconception that this stuff is designed for more velocity out of a shorter barrel. Not true! Actually, they re-design the bullet using softer lead/copper mixtures and make the hollow point a little bit deeper so it will reliably expand at a SLOWER speed. [/QUOTE]
