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.
