I found some .38 special (158 grain JHP/XTP) by Hornandy.
Also found some .38 special (158 lead nose) Federal brand.
1. Are they any good for self-defense? (Is there a special purpose for them...I usually load with 125 grain HP Winchester for SD.)
2. Someone told me that copper jacketed bullets should never be fired after firing lead nose bullets. Something about ruining the barrel. Is there any truth to this?
