The "short bbl" in the name isn't for having low flash. It's for having a bullet the expands/functions at low velocity in the "short bbl's".

Federal micro hst is a 130gr bullet that does a whopping +/- 840fps out of 2" bbl'd 38spl revolvers.

You're going to have a hard time finding 130gr wc bullets. Any 125gr/130gr cast bullet turned backwards will work (loaded flat base out). Most medium burn powders will get +/- 840fps with a 130gr bullet/38spl/short bbl's.
