In keeping with the policy of having the newest ammunition on hand for home-defense, I'll be taking out my .357, along with 'Nonie' and my .32. I have 250 rounds of .38, but I found 50 of those are .38 SPL +P, 125gr JHPs. Are those the ones I should keep for home or just shoot 'em up with the rest? I  have about 75 or so .357 Magnum 125gr SJHPs, too.
I'd appreciate your opinions before I go shooting tomorrow. Thanks!

Oh yeah, when those JHP .32s come, I will shoot 2 magazines (6+1x2). Can non-LEOs get that ballistic gel?

 Keep your ammo in a cool, dry place.  I put mine in a steel .50 G.I. ammo box and keep it in the basement (has the coolest year around temperature).
 
Use FMJ or ball rounds for practice.  Shoot enough of the JHP to see that it functions through a self-loader and doesn't give any problems in a revolver.  Then, save the JHP for serious social encounters. 
 
You shouldn't have to shoot the JHPs unless you want to kill some water jugs or water melons  If you know or suspect the ammo may have gotten wet or overtemperature for a long time (exposed to sunlight for extended periods), shoot that stuff up and replace it.
