This video tests Winchester Ranger Bonded 38 Special +P 130-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition through a Taurus 605 (2-inch barrel) and a Ruger GP100 (4-inch barrel) using a heavy clothing barrier and ballistics gel. The ammunition performed poorly from the short barrel, failing to expand and penetrating 19 inches after tumbling.
