Shot some phone books for fun
I soaked a stack of phone books overnight to see how some different bullets would react. the books are about 1 1/2 inches each
.40 155 grain XTP 7.0 grains of unique out of a S&W sigma, went through 4 books and expanded perfectly, well over 1/2 inch
.45 LC 250 grain XTP 7.5 grains unique out of a 3" judge , 3- 4 books, bullet did not expand at all
Surprisingly, federal 000 buckshot penetrated almost as deep, well into 3rd book
.38 Hornandy LSWC/HP 4.0 grains W231 out of a 4" S&W model 67 , 4 books, no expansion at all
Are my 38 and 45 loads just too slow?
