I recently fired a box of Winchester "white box" 130's, and it shot fine, and cleaned up with almost no effort.

But I wouldn't rely on it for anything but paper shooting and maybe small rabbits.

When I was in the USAF, one base used unit funds to buy some Hi-Velocity .38 ammo locally. I felt better carrying that. It was probably .38-44 stuff, Plus P not being developed yet. But we practiced with wadcutters, so the guns didn't take a beating. A lot were leftover Victory Models scrounged from the Navy.
