This is one subject where there is no "best", merely what you prefer based on your expectations and desires! Any .38 Special ammunition will do exactly the same thing in a range scenario, put holes in paper targets! How accurately this happens is mostly a reflection of your individual shooting ability, and not the gun or ammunition.

Don't worry about the performance figures either advertised or indicated on the packaging, it is extremely rare for any ammunition in any caliber to deliver these performance levels in actual firearms. There are many reasons for this. There is nothing "magic" about .38 Special ammunition at 750 FPS +/- or 200 FPE! If you do not own a chronograph you will never know what velocity your gun produces, and it doesn't matter!!!
