A 38 Special can have many ammunition options. There are jacketed, double-action hollowpoints, heavy trigger pull, expansion, penetration, and double action. Before we dive into these features, let us first look at different types of ammunition. What are the pros and cons of each type? This article will address these issues. After reading the article, you will know which type to choose for your rifle.
Double action
The classic Colt snub-nose revolver is great for concealment. This lightweight gun is made from stainless steel and only 26 ounces in weight. The 2-inch barrel is great for self defense up-close. Its Stainless Steel finish and rubber hogue overmolded grips make it easy to handle. The gun can shoot +P round.
LCR is an excellent choice for small hands. It is just 13.5 ounces in weight and measures 6.5 inches overall. Ruger LCR comes with a hogue rubber handle. The barrel measures 1.87 inches in length and features a U-notch back sight and a ramped front view. It is one among the most versatile revolvers currently on the market. There are variants that include Crimson Trace's laser sight and Crimson Trace's laser grips.
Trigger pull heavy
The double action trigger pull of a.38 special snub nose revolver exceeded the maximum allowable trigger pull on a spring-scale. The average single-action trigger pull weighed in at four pounds. This is due to the fact that revolvers absorb peak recoil instantly so it is impossible to fire a full cylinder of +P Golden Sabers. It is even more annoying if the gun's purpose is rapid fire.
In a snubby revolver, a heavy trigger pull may cause difficulty while drawing the weapon. If your hand is small, a heavy trigger pull might be an issue. If this is the case, a hammerless design with a snub nasal might be the best for you. This type of snub revolver has hidden hammers and a smaller size.
Expansion
Overpenetration is an issue with the.38 Special. Snub Nose Pro combats this problem by using solid copper projectiles with mechanical expansion below 1,000 ft/second. While the solid copper bullet doesn't expand as fast than a round one, it is reliable and might be the best backup load to the.38 Special. Before we go into detail, let's review the pros and cons associated with the 38 Special.
Standard pressure 148 grain full wadcutter Target Round does not expand. The sharp edge can penetrate tissue and kill attackers. The bullet is 148 grains in weight and has very little recoil. It makes it an excellent match for a 38 Special Snub Nose Pro. The Snub Nose Pro is only intended to be used with +P-rated firearms. Most modern concealed carry revolvers are capable of carrying +P loads.
Penetration
Cast hollowpoint bullets, while not ideal for penetration of a snub nostril, are not recommended. Their.308 velocity is too low to cause tip deformation. They are still a good choice for most purposes, including general purpose, 4-inch-barrel 38 Special pistols. Here is the science behind this choice:
Tests showed that most.38 Special loads reached consistent penetration depths of between twelve and eighteen inches. However, most were at the lower end. The bullet expansion was also not impressive. Twelve loads failed to expand when fired with a 4-inch barrel, while five failed to expand at all. Although some loads were able to expand with a 4-inch barrel, others failed.

How To
How to hunt wild hogs
Large, large wild hogs are found all over North America, Africa Asia, Asia, Europe. Wild hogs can eat small animals and plants, including birds, insects and rabbits. They usually feed at night. The gestation period is approximately six months. One piglet then emerges. A sow has one child every two years. Although wild hogs are usually solitary, they can sometimes live in groups called herds.
Wild boars average a weight of 200 pounds (90kg). Their head length averages from 10 to 12 inches (25-30 cm), while their body length ranges from 20 to 30 inches (50-75 cm). Wild pigs have short tails, long legs and broad shoulders. Their skin is covered with a thick layer fat.
They have a very strong sense of smell, hearing, and sight. These senses are used to find food and detect danger. They can run upto 35 mph (56 km/h) at speeds of up to 14 mph and jump upto 15 feet (4 m) from a distance of just under 4 m. They have sharp teeth. They are very aggressive when protecting themselves from predators.
Hunting wild hogs are difficult because they are fast, intelligent, and elusive. Hunting wild hogs is a dangerous business. The animal may flee if hunters take too long to kill it. Hunters who shoot too soon can kill the animal before it reaches cover.
There are many methods of hunting wild hogs. The most common method is shooting. This requires hunters to track down the animal and then wait until it comes into range. Another method is trapping. Setting traps near water sources is another method of trapping. The traps are often equipped with a scent lure that includes peanut butter mixed with corn meal. The hunter then shoots the trapped pork after the trap has been sprung.
Snaring is another option. Snaring uses a noose made out of rope to catch the pig. It works best when the pigs are caught during their mating season.
Other methods include netting, spearing, and poisoning. For a pig to stop breathing, netting or spearing involves putting a net or spear around its neck. Poisoning can be done by injecting poison into the body of the pig.
Hunting wild hogs requires hunters to be prepared for cold conditions. In some areas, hunters wear snowshoes to keep warm. Hunting dogs can help hunters track their animals.
