[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2690445, member: 5412"] The .38 special has killed thousands of folks. It has also caused the death of hundreds of LEO, and military folks when that round proved ineffective for the most part. The +P and .357 has increased the lethality of that round. We had a thread on here once saying the .22 mag should be a great SD round. I put one across the chrony from a 2" pistol, and got 1200 fps. A thread today touting the 5.7 and the .22TCM showed the .22 RF had more penetration that either round that had higher velocities and heavier weight bullets. I'm not saying the .22 RF is the ultimate, but it was an interesting result. I've dissected enough deer to know that bullet construction vs velocity has a huge say in the game. [/QUOTE]
