Rem/UMC 125 gr +P JHP, cheap and (relatively) easy to find. The lead seems softer than the Winchester White Box version. Not great, not horrible.
WWB's similar offering was expanding to around .48 caliber in gelatin from what tests I remember seeing on it. (I think they were in Shooting Times some years ago.) I suspect that the Remington offering might do a bit better.
I have a drawer full of .38s lately and most guns seem to shoot the Remington offering fairly well, so it keeps life easy. Not that it is a match grade ammunition, but 100 round value packs simplify the task of making sure that there are no surprises in a given gun.
