Obsolete or Old School Wisdom? .38spl Super Vel +P 90gr JHP
This video evaluates the performance of the resurrected Super Vel .38 Special +P 90gr JHP ammunition. Using a Smith & Wesson Model 638 revolver and a Phantom V642 high-speed camera, the test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gel and heavy clothing simulations. The ammunition, historically significant as Super Vel invented the hollow point, is tested for its effectiveness. Velocities are also recorded and analyzed, showing an average of 1,251 fps.
