I was looking very hard at the 130 gr. lead HP as a back up to the 125 JHP.

I thought it might be as good or better for expansion.

In all fairness.............
you gave the 140 gr MORE powder than the lighter 130 gr. bullet.
That is not a fair test in the fps for both bullets.
Next time give the 130gr. 5.4grs of powder and see what happens.

I do agree that the 140 weight bullet did great, though.

My J frame shoots the 140 XTP in tighter groups than the factory 135gr Gold Dot.
Good shooting.
