#HYDRA SHOK FULL#

The post in the middle was very pointy and not rounded looking as in the above advestisment, odd since about 1/3 of them were loose in the box or on old speed strips. Any who.they were acurate as hell and had almost no recoil in my 3' S&W model 13. on the case I thought it was a marketing thing. I remember thinking I have and have fired off a number of old rounds and never saw Silver Tip, Cleanbore, etc. I did'nt know Federal bought the rights to the design from anouthe company. The case was stamped hydra shok on the bottom which I thought was odd until reading this post. 38 spc and 9mm from the range/armory that is in the basement of the station (Glock model 22s are filling their holsters now) to fire off. One of my best friends was on our home town PD at the time and got a lot of old.

I fired close to 150 rounds of the all lead full wadcutter hydra shok last summer. I love it when a peice from 'the old school' gets a bit of attention. Ladys and gents posts like this one are the reason I joined THR. (Yes I had a class 6 license) I seated mine in the first (last) lube groove and slightly beveled the edge with an RCBS deburring tool for easier chambering.

(that's how I remember it was winter)įor years I loaded Hornady Swaged HBWC upside down and I sold a lot of those as well. I even got a good expansion in a chunk of ice. I test fired them in several mediums from water filled milk jugs to phone books to sand bahs and got expansion in all of them. When the base plug was removed before opening the mold it left the 'stinger' in the cavity.Īs I recall they were seated flush with the case mouth.Īs I was told the company wanted to call them 'The Stinger' but the name was already owned by Speer/CCI. The original molds were hollow base wadcutter molds with a hole drilled in the base plug. This was of course before Federal bought the license for them.Īs I recall they were about 150 grains. I bought several cases of the red, white & black boxed Hydra-Shok Scorpions from the factory back around winter 1978.
