In .35 caliber guns with less than 1100 fps impact velocity I look for penetration over expansion. I have a bunch of friends and acquaintances who have shot both people animals and things with .38 Special +P loads and the bullets just deformed a little.
One friend shot a guy in the neck at less than 10 yards with a FBI load out of a M60...the bullet stuck in the guys neck. And he ran off.
Only .38 ammo that gets carried in my M649-2, 60-1 or 2.5" Colt Diamondback are the Buffalo Bore, Underwood or Lost River +P 158 HPs or solids... They all run 1000+- fps from a 2"...
For the couple of boxes of ammo those guns will see over their lifetime it isn't going to hurt anything...except for maybe the one who is on the receiving end...
