What is better 135 grain or 158 grain hollow point?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on March 31, 2022

Both 135 grain and 158 grain hollow points are good choices. One is not necessarily better then the other. The 135 grain bullet will be moving faster than the heavier 158 grain, but the heavier bullet will typically have more muzzle energy. Both will work fine.

I THOUGHT ALL .38 SPECIAL AMMO WAS THE SAME LENGTH ? WHY ARE THESE ONLY FOR SHORT BARREL ? GOLD.DOT BRAND.

A
Answered by John, guest, from IL, United States, on March 22, 2022

Seriously man. This BULLET on this ammo is designed to obtain maximize expansion even out of a 1 7/8” bbl. Snub nose revolver. The shorter the barrel the slower the feet per second. The slower the FPS the less expansion you get out of a cheaper less engineered hollow point. This ammo is about the best .38 on the market at this point. Read more.
