Please dont answer for me.
My comments regarding the 135gr+P load are based off the fact that , as stated before, the .38special load and .357mag load use the same bullet. A 5 inch barrel isnt going to increase the velocity of the .38special load that much over the .357mag load.
As for my comments regarding the 125gr Speer Gold Dot in both .38spec and .357 magnum, they have been shown to have poor performance in lab testing. Neither load expands after encountering the stand soft intermediate barrier testig. Neither expand reliably when bare ordnance gelatin is encountered. The barrel length with either load doesnt matter either. That said the 125gr+p in .38spec does work better than the .357mag version, but that still isnt exactly a glowing statement.
