One of best rounds in the 38 Special or 357 Magnum short barrel is the 38 Special +P Golden Saber. A Sheriff who tested this in Ballistic
Gelatin obtained penetration results of 10 to 10½ inches with expansion to between .55 and .60 inches. He immediately switched his preferred loads to the Golden Sabers. The 38 Golden Saber has a thinner jacket and softer core resulting in excellent performance.
