I carry the little Mod 36 on hikes. For the occasional unexpected encounter with coyotes (or even small hogs) what non +P load is best for these critters? OK, I know .38 is not preferred for these, but that's what I have. And I'd like to stay non +P.

I load them. I tend to like the 158 gr. LSWCHP. But for the coyotes I could see a full power, faster load with a 110gr jacketed HP might be decent, though not so well for the hogs.

Opinions?

Thanks.
