...have chronographed almost every factory made 210 grain load from a 4" barrel and not a one ever made 1300 fps... The Remington 210 JSP only runs 1250+- from a 4" barrel.
...if you get it done in that range, get a bigger gun...

Bob, that’s interesting. I don’t doubt your report for a minute, but neither do I doubt my chronograph. I no longer have that particular Model 58. I believe I sold it a few years ago to a member here. Maybe it was a particularly fast gun, or a particularly fast box of ammo - or both? Can’t say as I have neither any more for a re-test, so I guess it will be a mystery, to me.
I agree 100% with your last comment, if I understand it correctly. If a good load from a .41 Magnum revolver won’t do the trick, it’s time to get out a rifle, or a 12-gauge with slugs.
Thanks for your observations.
