That info is somewhat confusing, though. For a 158gr .38/.357 bullet, does "mid-range jacketed velocity" mean mid-range for .38 SPL or .357 Magnum? I don't actually expect y'all to comment so much as I'm complaining about their imprecise language.
Thanks for the advice, gents. I appreciate it.

3.7 grains of HP38 and a LSWC bullet is traveling at 842 fps, according to Hodgson's website. I don't know any .38 traveling at 1200-1500 fps.
