HA! Typically I prefer a lead bullet 158 gr, but the manuel loadings for lead bullets is extremely weak. Even the Speer manuel lists in the notes that "these are not the maximum loads". My two manuels both in .38 Special and evne .357 Magnum seem to carefully keep all velocities with lead bullets right under 1000 ft per second.
