fishguy,
You are very close to duplicating the old 38/44 load in terms of velocity, although traditionally 38/44s are most often loaded with 2400. I get 1150 fps from my 5" 1937 vintage Heavy Duty with 158g Berry's FP over 11.7g 2400. Despite hand loading for over 40 years I've never tried Herco, and with the current powder shortages I'm not likely to do much experimenting. (smile)
Dave
