I'm making up a Memorial Day exhibit of World War II small arms and realize that I'm vague on the type of ammunition the military procured for the .38 Special as would be used in the Colt Commando and Smith & Wesson Victory Model. Was it the same as the later 130 grain FMJ round nose? What sort of ballistics could be expected from World War II military issue .38 Special ammunition?

The exhibit isn't until Monday but I have to finish my information this evening because I'll be away all day tomorrow.
