IMO it is about the best you can get in +P .38 Spl. if you can handle the stout recoil. Not too bad, but you'll definitely know it's something different!

The BB is also really accurate, about the most consistent load I've ever shot, and I've never had one single hitch with them.
BB is thee premium ammo. It is a step up from the FBI original FBI loading. It is also made in +P. This load will not be comfortable in a J frame. My carry is Buffalo Bore LSWC 158 hp standard pressure in my 638. Item 20C/20 158gr Soft Cast LSWHP-GC 850fps these are low flash for short barrel revolvers.
