[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2690459, member: 5412"] I'd go with the .357. I don't have one in front of me, but the velocity of a snubbie in .38 even with modern loads, is way lower than a .38 in a longer barrel. I'd be more than happy to test it over a chrony which is the truth teller but I don't have anything related to .38 anymore. When I saw it just dent a drum, that was enough for me. For a comparison, a .45ACP will go through two of them completely and dent the back side of a third. .40 will go through three of them and dent the fourth. Winchester WB factory for both tests. I know its redneck ballistics testing, but it does show the .38 is way lacking. [/QUOTE]
