I find the 135gr SB load a little easier to control than the FBI 158gr loading
out of my J frame 38 special.

Only problem with non-+p 158 lead ammo is it has poor energy out of a 2".
I like at least 181 ft/lbs of energy with the 158gr for a minimum SD loading, if that is all I can have.

Some state a 148gr target load will work but I would hate to
wait around for the LE or results as it does its thing.
