With the Hornady CD ammo, just make sure you use the.....
+P 110gr ammo and not the standard 110gr CD ammo.

The fps on the standard load 110gr is not enough to let the
jacket expand correctly and you will get complete pass through
in a gel pack and even worse in the 4 layer test with minimum expansion.

Recoil with the little 110gr +P bullet is the same as a 158gr lead
bullet at target load speeds, out of a 38 snub nose.
