Doc,
I quote from one of the stickies:
"Currently, the Speer Gold Dot 135 gr +P JHP, Winchester 130 gr bonded +P JHP (RA38B), and Barnes 110 gr XPB all copper JHP (for ex. in the Corbon DPX loading) offer the most reliable expansion we have seen from a .38 sp 2” BUG; Hornady 110 gr standard pressure and +P Critical Defense loads also offer good performance out of 2" barrel revolvers."
Sir, are these loads still the best for a 3" barrel? I can use .357 also. I currently have Rem 158gr JHPs in .357mag. These are real heaters but not unusable in my K frame Smith.
Thanks,
1986s4
