I load 4.7 grs in a 38 case for 893fps with a lead 158 Speer bullet.
In a "L" frame this bullet in a 38 case can get up to 1124fps with slow powders.
I can see why you are having problems.

Really? I use HP38. Same as 231, correct? The hodgson website says 3.1 grains to 3.8 for 158 grain LSWC. 3.8 to 4.3 for fmj. I recently switched to plated so am loading 3.8 grains. I never load .357 cases, though.
