    I’ll have to listen to this one, did they address exceptions? For example at Revolver Round Up Chuck Haggard told us he carried FMJ as the reload for his snubby due to the speed and ease of the reload since reloading a back up type revolver is tough enough already.

    Ball may be a better choice for calibers .380 and under due to the tendency of the HP rounds in those calibers to under penetrate.

    Ok;
    I think Haggard touched on the benefit of .380 ball vs JHP;
