Back in the Eighties, gun writers were talking about loading hollow base swaged wadcutters backwards to have a super-spreading hollow point. I think that loading would not do well on penetration, especially if multiple layers of clothing had to be traversed. .38 Special is an easy shooter in a full size revolver, and Plus-P ammo is easy, too, in pistols other than lightweight snubbies. Soft, swaged bullets need to be held to standard pressure and speed to prevent stripping lead into your riflings. Hard cast bullets can be pushed faster, and will perform well on up to black bears in a pinch. Here are Mas Ayoob's thoughts on the subject.
