I just received a couple of boxes of 125 grain .38 caliber Silvertips. The bullet tips of the .38 Silvertips do not look like the bullet tips of the .357 Silvertips: the color is different (the .357s are shiny like silver; the .38s are dull, like lead), and the formation of the tips is different (the splits are longer and more pronounced in the .357s).
Can anyone tell me the reason for these differences? I ordered the .38s for carry in my SP101, but I think I'll stick with the .357s in the SP101, unless I can find out for sure that the the different calibers are made of the same material...and maybe even then I'll stick with the .357's .
