i really dont see the point of all the hype of the newer generation bullets. Sure the newer bullets promise perfect results but i dont see the worth of them.
Did some testing today. newspaper compressed in a box, backed by a 1/16 steel tray. that was backed by a 20 inch thick rotting stump. at a really close 15 yards i blasted away.
4 rounds 110 grain sjhp 38 +p
3 rounds 130 grain rem umc standard 38 special
7 rounds standard 38 special 158 grain lrn
they all did the same things to the test target. hit, entered, penetrated, shredded newspaper, and blew through the plate and dissapeared into the stump. the end. dug half way through the stump, found NONE.
