Are there any gel test for the SJHP 38 special 125 +p Winchester USA USA38JHP and Remington UMC L38S2B ? I know there is better SD ammo out there but I picked up a couple boxes for my stash. I prefer the Winchester but the Remington was pretty cheap for HP at $28 for 100 . I am mainly interested in a 4" barrel test like my S&W 10-5 that should give enough velocity for decent expansion. I would only woods carry this ammo. I have premium GoldDots and Winchester Ranger for my snubs.
 
I think I have seen that test. A guy shooting off a ladder into a 55 gallon drum? Milk jugs are a little better. Water test over exaggerate expansion including rounds that normally don't expand at all like Magtech or super short barreled .380's. I would prefer wetpack or calibrated gelatin.
 
I like the overall quality of Winchester better but the Remington bullet construction looks like it lends itself to better expansion with more exposed lead and deeper hollow point.
