Gel test Results
We tested this Hornady Ammunition 38 Special ammo by firing five rounds with a S&W 640 with a -inch barrel into calibrated Clear Ballistics gelatin. Of those five rounds, we discovered the ammo penetrated an average of 14.64-inches into the gelatin. Our test rounds ended the test with an average expanded diameter of 0.47-inches, retaining 99% of the projectile's original weight.
