Strike three ammo

[wormy]

Anyone use any strike three ammo? The "buckshot" for .357 or .38. Supposed to be three 30cal balls in a .357. Wondering if this would be a good alternative for a snubbie.

I don't have any experience with it, but I would not use it. I think penetration and accuracy would suffer. I doubt that the buckshot would be consistent in accuracy.

i agree with Jerry, I would use it in on a hunt as a snake killer

It's been done for decades and there's a reason it doesn't sell better than what it does.

I have always been skeptical of it.

I'll take a 125gr jhp at 1250 fps over that any day.

Or even a 38 spl +p 158gr lswchp at 850 fps from a snubby.

The only thing I can relate to in .38 is my 'snake shot' used when I accompany the wife to get her pine needles for making her baskets.
Other than that, I want a solid bullet for SD...OMOYMV

It's a clever solution to a non-existant problem (to paraphrase Colonel Cooper.)

That 105 ft-lbs is probably for all 3 pellets, so one hit is 35 ft-lbs.
Not too good.

I'm not convinced that the firing this round gives you just 3 pellets all the same. I'm not convinced that this would be your best option.

Its a gimmick that sounds good in theory but its not so good in practicle application.

If it worked as well as it should, every agency in the country would be carrying it.

Instead, its seen only with the other "exotic" ammo selections at gun shows.
