158gr XTP in a J-Frame?

What velocity would you expect from a 4"?

I would hope for at least 800 fps. I use the Hornady rounds for reloads in speed strips for my older guns that hit POA with 158 grain ammo. The 158 +P LHP rounds I carry in the gun get mashed bullet noses when carried in a pocket over a period of time.

Chronographed the Hornady round this morning from a.38 GP-100 4" revolver. BCG .003
Avg 810 fps ES 16 SD 5. Five round average.
Maybe someone can gel test some of this round from a 4" service revolver.

We have in the past, they don't consistently expand in 4LD at that velocity, but are very accurate.

Thank you, Sir, for your response.
