Any of the 130 grain ballpark .38 +p hollow point defense loads would be a good choice. I would not load that thing with magnums because of flash, noise and muzzle flip. I don't see the attraction of using a snub as a home defense gun: you give away a lot of muzzle velocity and accuracy with a 2" barrel compared to 4" or 6". Reduced muzzle velocity means the bullets may not expand fully.
