As the title says, please help school me on the different bullet types in the .357/38 special platform. I'm not new to revolvers but just new to this seemingly very versatile platform of revolver. There is a plethora of choices especially if one reloads. You've got wadcutters, semi-wadcutters, semi-wadcutter hp, jsp, jhp, sjhp, full lead loads, and probably a couple more I don't know about. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Like wadcutters for instance, I take it those are mainly just for punching holes in paper. What about semi-wadcutter hps being used as a defensive round? Also with like the sjhp where the lead tip is exposed, how do these compare to full jhp? Thanks for taking the time to school me on this .
