I have some ammo for self-defense out of short .38 Special barrels, so just looking for more plinking/target ammo. https://www.sgammo.com/product/38-special-ammo/500-round-case-38-special-fmj-130-grain-prvi-partizan-ammo-pph38sf Or is Winchester a better choice for $30 more per 500 rnds? https://www.sgammo.com/product/38-special-ammo/500-round-case-38-special-winchester-130-grain-fmj-ammo-q4171 |

I have fired Prvi-Partisan in 9mm and .30 Cal M1 Carbine. Average accuracy, maybe slightly under-powered, but zero malfunctions.

In case you are planning on reloading also, I found that PPU has quite thin walled casings. The Winchester would be more suitable for reloading but both are ok for casual shooting.

I have other PPU ammo calibers and I really like them. Just making sure the .38 Special doesn't anything obviously wrong with it. |

I've used them both in a S&W 442. They're fine. If you're using TK custom moon clips, IIRC the web of the PPU was a bit too thick to fit.
I think if you're out of more potent self defense ammo, the Winchester bullet with a meplat will do more damage than the round nose PP so there's a slight advantage to the Winchester. The last time I bought Winchester, it was $14 a box and I only bought 10 boxes.
