Re: 38 Special ammo question Several manufacturers out there make various loads for a variety of calibers....Cor-Bon for one, has always had a reputation for loading "Hot" rounds Make sure if you're using hot loads, your gun is in good shape

Re: 38 Special ammo question I have some SPEER gold dot 38 SPL+P 135 grain GDHP's that I use. Best thing I have researched as of a few years ago. A lot of police departments have switched from federal hydrashok to speer gold dot, I think the claim is that shooting through windshields is better with the gold dots.

Re: 38 Special ammo question If you feed potent ammo in light 38 snubbies sometimes the recoil will unseat the bullets which will then protrude out the front of the cylinder thus preventing the cylinder from rotating.

Re: 38 Special ammo question It is my understanding that you should not shoot +P in your revolver unless you are certain that it is rated to handle that. Check it out with the manufacturer unless is states +P on the firearm, cough cough, like mine does.

Re: 38 Special ammo question I really enjoyed this article on self defense loads for the .38 special snubbie. Page loads a little slow, but the article is pretty informative.

Re: 38 Special ammo question Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .38 Special: 100-grain bullet at 1400 fps = 435 ft-lbs. of muzzle energy, which approaches .357 Mag levels.
