Don't know, never been to Michigan.

Moment of inertia?

I like the thing about alternating rounds in a mag. I always figured picking the best round would work. Little did I know...

Hornady 140g XTP .357 Mag

Technically it's designed for lever rifles, but in my Sp101 they will get the job done.

What is to keep them from setting off the primer in the round in front of it?

I would like to know as I am in the works for a Marlin model 1884 in .357.

The tip is polymer. The tip is not hard enough to set off the primer. They are made specifically for a lever action. If you got a lever gun in .357, I think you'll be tickled with this load. Lemme tell ya, in my SP101, recoil is STOUT! In a rifle, it would be too sweet. I'm surprised it's not labeled +p, I've shot other .357 loads in my Ruger, none of which pounds my wrists like these. I like it!!

Astra....just out of curiosity, have you ever taken any chronograph numbers on them out of that short barrel? I'm kind of surprised they do so well in a pistol, I would have thought they would use a slow burning powder considering they expect them to be used in long barrels. Apparently they do fine though...lol.

No access to a chrono, sorry.

I thought about that, when I initially decided to give them a try. They group tight and at 15 yards, will bust through a 3" thick white oak board and make toothpicks on the other end. I managed to find one bullet, it was peeled back pretty good, but all there. No frag.
