Thanks for the info. According to hipowersandhandguns website there us only a small loss in velocity for a snubnose for the tested ammo. I didn't see tests of the Winchester White Box .38+p but that should also perform well *if* it uses fast burning powder. For some reason the S&W snubbies perform well in ballistics tests too.

This is almost the cheapest ammo you can buy and it is also one of the best performers.
Plain Jane ammo that out performs the expensive crap like Core Bon.
Go figure.
I buy a LOT of this White Box stuff.
Never had a problem with it.
Since my .38 Special is a 'Snubby' (2.5 In) I had to do some research and I know the ballistics are the same as the 4" barrel used in these tests.
The extra 1.5 inches of barrel doesn't add enough Speed or Energy to matter.
Excellent ammo.

the chirping birds and nature sounds are a nice touch for the subject matter. ya looks like a pretty solid load

@andreleger2001 thank you

I use the winchester +p bonded
Looks like it explained well. Wonder how it would preform in a snubbie.

We tested a few of the .38's from a snubbie, but I don't think we did this one.

@tsakherkuum what's the difference between shots coming from a snub or a full size barrel?

@baker70romeo Longer barrels generally produce higher velocity. A short barrel could possibly reduce the velocity of the round to the point where it would not expand reliability. Although I think non expansion from a short barrel is not as much of an issue as it was 20 years ago. Manufacturers have learned how to tweak their designs to open over a wide range of speed.
