.38 Special +P 158 gr semi-jacketed soft flat point...velocity 890 fps with 278 fpe from a 4" inch barrel.
Does anybody have an idea of how this load performs in 10% gel? In animal flesh? How much penetration? How much expansion? Any pictures of the bullet after impact?
Would this load show any expansion at all in soft tissue at that velocity?
This would NOT be for personal defense against humans...just something to carry when out on day hikes or back on the lease making rounds. I was thinking that less expansion and more penetration would be the focus when in such situations.
Thanks
