I just confirmed that I have the 38C- standard pressure LSWC with no hollow point. Still should be good target ammo.
Ideal for small game, too.
The poster who doesn't realize why we have SWC bullets badly needs to read Elmer Keith's, "Sixguns." Get the revised 1961 ed.
That is the basis for all persons wanting to know about handguns, and one is seriously impaired if he hasn't studied it. The other basic book I recommend is Geoffrey Boothroyd's "The Handgun." You can find it for a lot less than the Keith book, and its scope is much wider. But the Keith book has more on ammo, bullet shapes, etc. and on shooting techniques. Don't drop the latter book on a bare toe. You'll feel it! It's big and heavy. And very, very useful!
Both are dated, but are the basis, and that doesn't change. You can read more on modern auto pistols, current ammo, etc. elsewhere.
But a man who doesn't even know why a SWC bullet is better than a RN for most purposes is just... well, handicapped is the polite way to put it.
If the ammo box in question here is the one pictured, I don't understand why it was hard to tell what's in it. The endflap is pretty clear about that, especially if you look up what 38C means. It's a very good field load for small animals and better for defense than a RN bullet. Lead bullets do create a possible additional need to clean the barrel often. Don't let lead deposits build up. Reloaders avoid this to a large extent by using harder cast bullets. Factory lead bullets tend to be softer swaged ones. But this is in, "Sixguns." Go read it if you haven't!
