The current load is pretty anemic. 830 fps. sounds pretty good at first, but that's probably out of a 4" bbl.
I would like to see the Nyclad come out of a 2" at 925 fps.
Wasn't the old +P a 158-grainer?
The 830fps is from a 2" barrel. The previous lineup of FederalŪ Nyclad™ 38 Special ammunition was.........

• 125gr HP Standard Pressure
• 158gr RN Standard Pressure
• 125gr HP +P
• 158gr SWCHP +P
