Ah, the days before off-the-shelf good fast film... Something I seem to recall having used a few times was something nominally 400ish (so presumably Tri-X) pushed to 3200+ and developed in, wait for it, HC-110 replenisher. I was assured that it was "an old photojournalist's trick." I didn't know any old photojournalists at the time, though. Oh, and when we actually *wanted* as much grain as possible, there was the trick of developing Tri-X in Dektol. Whoa. Great snowy blizzards of grain. Kinda nice looking, though.
