Now you've done it. Wait for the flood of opinions, each more impassioned and authoritative than the last.
I'd say you can't go wrong with the Federal 125 grain JHP in +p, others may be as good, but nothings better. Stay away from bullets lighter than that. CCI/Speer Red Dot hollowpoints are supposed to be great too. In reality there's precious little difference in stopping power between the good .38+P loads out there, just pick whatever company has a hollow point with a name that turns you on the most, all kinds of "magic" super-dooper hollow points out there that each company says is the best.
