So I think I screwed the pooch.
Loaded up Berry's plated 158gr HP for 38s, low to mid jacketed velocity around 800fps. Shoots great.
So I ordered some 125gr plated HPs for use in the same 38s and said let's make some .357 mag. Same deal, mid-jacketed data. Then I realized that Berry's suggests staying south of 1250fps for their normal plated projectiles.
oops. Think these will run right around 1400fps, at least in a 10 inch test barrel, but I'm shooting them from a 3" SP101 so should I even worry about it? What's the worst thing that could happen, besides copper/lead fouling and crap accuracy?
