British 380 Mk II (38/200) vs US 38 Special ball ammo
Reloading some 38 S&W this weekend I got to thinking about these two WW2 revolver ctgs. The Brits usually get criticized for adopting the lowly 38 S&W Super Police as a military ctg. But I wonder if the 38 Special military ball ammo was really much better as a self defense ctg? The early US issue stuff was a 158gn steel cased round nose, latter replaced by the 130gn metal cased round nose. As much criticism as the 158gn LRN gets could a steel cased RN bullet be that effective?
