I'm in the process of reloading 500 rounds of .38 Special. Looking at the different bullet types, I'm undecided on what to go with. I realize the cost savings of going with lead (if I do it would probably be a semi-wadcutter), but would rather something copper jacketed or plated (better for long term storage?). And if I go with copper jacketed, I would probably go with some type of JHP. My "reasoning" for this choice, I guess, would be that I could use these for range use, and for if/when the SHTF.....
What I'm looking for is opinion/insight from anyone who has loaded JHP and SWC...and an opinion on what would be better for storage & defense...
Thanks.
