I've shot GD's at some pretty crazy velocities in handloads in several different calibers and I have never, ever seen any hint of separation.
Specifically, this includes using 135 SB GD's in full power .357 handloads from 4" barrels.
I think the 'short barrel' factory loads will work just fine (great, in fact) out of a 4" barrel.
