+1 with SWAT Lt.; while the velocity and bullet weights may be similar between the old 38 spl round nose load and the 147 grn 9mm hollow point, its the bullet that makes the difference. Given the same sectional density (indicative penetration)I'd take the modern 147 grn hollow point any day. The prospect of a load that BOTH penetrates and expands is a WIN/WIN in my book.
