My Grandad has a M10-? he bought new back in the late 60s. He used to tell me that the 38 Special was proven to be the most accurate handgun cartridge, that’s why all the bullseye shooters used it. He also told me that the big 158 RN was the ticket for heavy lifting with the 38, things like police work and big game hunting. He’d even killed a mule deer with one of those big 158s one time.

As I grew up and learned about handgun hunting and how nose shape affects terminal performance I couldn’t help but wonder about this deer he’d shot with a factory Winchester RN out of a 4” M&P. I asked my uncle who was present when the kill took place and it all made perfect sense after hearing the story.

Deer came out in a meadow around 30 yards away and was feeding. When it saw them it snapped to attention with it’s head up. At which point Grandad shot it a little left of center in the forehead! No wonder it dropped dead.

I've got an older Rossi snubgun (3") barrel that absolutely loves the 158LRN factory ammo. It shoots "K-38 good" with that stuff. I've used it on prairie dogs all the way out to 45 yards. It's pretty fun to shoot that little clunker.

I've also shot a 2" M36 with 158s all the way out to 100 yards and hit those little Miller pony bottles (with a witness, it was his revolver). He just shook his head and walked away..........

This is as it may be, but if he isn't as lucky (or good) with the more potent cartridge, he did himself no favor.

I'm guessing you thought that made sense when you typed it.

And once again, while bigger don't hurt none, in the end placement is what wins the day.


Placement, placement, placement, all other considerations are superfluous. Hmm, that might make a good sig line... wink

Bill Jordan said the .38 Special is the most powerful cartridge the average man could hope to master.
As a "fan" of magnum cartridges, I'd be disinclined to argue with him.
And remember, he said that back when the average man was a man - not the weak, fat and soft version we have now.

The argument here would be the mastered .38 Spl / 9mm vs the good enough 10mm or magnum...
