"The 38spl/357mag were designed for 158gr bullets. Using hollow points in this weight bullet puts you at the top of the food chain!"

The original load for the .38 Special was a 158-gr. lead round nose bullet propelled by 21.5 grains of black powder.

Using your apparent "furstest is always bestest" logic, I'd say you subscribe to the notion that anything other than black powder and lead roundnoses are a deathwish...

Right.
