I keep reading about this load. It's apparently a +P SWC Hollowpoint that gets high marks from writers like Massad Ayoob and others. The only problem is that the only place that carries anything like it is Georgia Arms, but when I did a search for reviews, I found that the only one gave it a poor review. Velocity and accuracy were fine, but expansion was terrible. The hollowpoint bullets looked as though they could have be reloaded again, and so I gave up on them.
I've been unable to find them anywhere and according to what I've heard, they're very expensive when they are found. The bullets seem to be straightforward enough, and there's little in their description that would justify a horribly high price. The Georgia Arms load seems only to suffer from hard bullets. I have several very small .38 revolvers (early model 60 and 36). And despite not being made for +P ammo, their steel construction does let them handle the more powerful ammo.
If anyone knows where I can get the FBI Load at a reasonable price, please let me know. Also, had anyone used this ammo in these bantum-sized pistols, please let me know.
