But, regarding 38 Special, the Hodgdons OAL for all 33 loads they list for 38 Special (and for 16 in +P, as well) using XTPs or a LRNFP is 1.455". ALLIANT says 1.44" for a 125gr Gold Dot with 4.5gr Bullseye in both as well. Nowhere near the advertised 1200 fps for these plated Xtremes.

These are 357 Magnum revolvers. Load 'em as longer as you please (within reason).
