I was disappointed with the results of the JHP in my P-32 and went to the store and bought a box of Winchester .32 Auto 71 grain, FMJ rounds.

These bullets are FMJs, but have a slightly flat point.

Here I am busting the box.

The round penetrated 4 jugs. Plenty of penetration.

The question now is: Will these rounds work 100% of the time or will they cause "rim over" jams, as explained in the Part 1?

Only time and lots of tests will tell.

Another small gun that we didn't completely wring-out was the .38 Special Snub Nose.

A friend that is a Deputy Sheriff in Louisiana sent me some rounds to try in the snub nose.

First, a round of Power Ball, .38 Special +P 100 grain, advertised at 1400 fps.

A pretty impressive explosion.

The light weight of the round caused us to doubt whether it would penetrate enough, but it had no problem.

It penetrated 5 jugs and came apart.

Four jugs is considered the optimum minimum penetration since it equals about 12 inches of BG penetration.

This one did even better than that.

Here's a part of the jacket in the first jug.

The main part of the bullet was found in the fifth jug.

All in all, pretty good performance.
