I actually checked on Lucky Gunner. On Target Sports, Micro HST .38 Spl is going for $1/round, while Speer Gold Dot is selling at $0.40.

Personally, absent a proper hollowpoint for legal reasons, or if one was working under the assumption that a JHP wouldn't expand properly--what about a 200-grain lead bullet with a flat nose, either LSWC or RNFP? If I remember correctly, the .38 Spl deer hunters like it (the ones that don't use 158s, anyway), and it would maximize momentum.

Of course, if a hollowpoint isn't possible for legal reasons, then it goes without saying that a reversed HBWC would be questionable to possess, at best.

RE: reloads, I don't believe there's any rule anywhere saying your reloads have to be the same bullet as your loaded carry ammo. So one could carry the chambers loaded with full wadcutters, and then have their speed loaders/strips filled with roundnose or semiwads. Presuming, of course, the carrier in question believed full wadcutters offered an advantage.
