My 649-5 likes Critical Defense 38spl +p
I took the 649 to the range to day to try out various loadings. Speer 135gr Mag, Federal 158gr HS, Win 145gr ST, Hornady 110gr +p.
What I found out is that the Mag loads, including the Speer 135gr mag SB load, have far too much bluster and recoil for my liking out of that short barrel. The Hornady 110gr +p critical defense seemed to be the Goldi Locks round. It felt just right and hit perfectly to POA.
Just FYI if you have a similar J frame.
