158-grain semi-jacketed hollow point (SJHP) loads are never a bad choice for self-defense in full-size revolvers or pocket-size wheel guns chambered in .38 Special. This particular SJHP projectile has a shallow hollow cavity carved into a lead nose with a flat surface and plenty of exposure, allowing for great energy transfer on contact and expansion that follows the pre-cut lines in the bullet's copper jacket. During entry, the bullet's expansion will cause it to yaw, depositing momentum in vitals while its cannelure prevents jacket separation, guaranteeing that adequate penetration, and thereby threat-stopping ability, is preserved.

The toothed cannelure also acts as a crimp point for a reloadable brass casing, preventing setback and movement from hurting accuracy or reliability after the cartridge experiences recoil vibrations in the cylinder. The brass casing is fitted with a non-corrosive Boxer primer that won't leave behind any caustic materials on metal surfaces.
