Ok, this may sound stupid, but I have never really understood the difference between .38 Special and .38 Special +P. I have had only a limited amount of experience with a .38 Special for starters. I guess I just need to know what the difference between the two is, does +P have to be shot through a "special" type of .38 revolver and can I shoot +P through a .357 revolver?

Thanks!

  Let me see, how to put the question. Is it true, that if you use one type of ammo for target, and a different ammo to hunt with that the weight should be the same For instance!! If you use 158 grain lead nose to practice with then you should use 158 grain jhp to hunt with. Is this correct? Seems to make sense, since both weights are equal so you should hit target in the same place, taken into consideration windage and elevation. Thank you for any information.

  30 Remington was Remingtons answer to the 30-30. It is roughly the same dimension/performance but rimless.
  The 30 Remington AR is a short and fat case that will fit in a standard AR-15 size magazine.

  Keep in mind that the ammo a firearm will accept is dictated by the length of the action. The AR-15 action will not accept any cartridge longer than the 5.56mm / .223. So any new cartridge for the AR action must meet that criteria. The older .30 cal. cartridges are too long for the AR action.
