follow up request on DockGKR's "BUG's: .380 ACP vs. .38 Sp" thread...

[hufnagel]

Since the thread is dated late 2012, I wanted to check and see if the recommendations for .38pl are still the same.

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.

If there's been any updates or recommendation changes please let me know (and maybe update the thread. )

Thanks!

I do know that Cor Bon isn't using the Barnes bullet anymore, and that their solid copper "DPX" bullet isn't working as well in the testing that I've seen.
