FWIW, Buffalo Bore offers a standard pressure 158g lead SWCHP round whose bullet leaves my 2" J frames at exactly the same speed as Remington's +P load with the same bullet. It is also just as unpleasant to shoot, IMHO, especially in alloy guns. But if you want that level of performance and are concerned about guns not rated +P, there's an option.
