Ammo Question
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!
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. 0 -
I would have tried a box of the three different loading to see which shot better in my rifle. I liked the 168 but that was before there was a 155. 0 -
Every gun will shoot identical loads differently, so one M700 may love the 155 gr A-max but hate the 168, and the next M700 will love the 168 and hate the 155, the next M700 will hate them both, the next one loves them both, on and on.
My Mauser .270 loves plain-Jane yellow/green box Rem 130 PSP core-lokts. Well under an inch groups, all day long. It doesn't like any other factory ammo from Win, Hornady, Federal, etc... anywhere close to the Rem 130's, and it absolutely despises the Remington 150 gr load. I have no idea why, but those Rem 130 gr rounds are it's favorite.
If you can wait until after you get the gun to get the ammo, try one box of each and see what it likes. If it likes them both, take your pick.0 -
Start reloading your gun will like home brew even better! 0
