That is incorrect. Speer claims 860 fps from a 2" barrel and full expansion @800 fps. I personally do not like light bullets especially a 110gr bullet in the .38 Special. I just don't understand this obsession with extreme velocities and having to use light bullets to achieve them? Just my opinion of course.
I don't have my notes available right now but I do remember in a M638 that load exceeded advertised velocities. (same 1.875" barrel length)
