Here are typical examples pulled from my notes, showing both a handload and a factory load. 38 Special loads in most barrel lengths from 2-inch to 8 3/8-inch. Over the years I have chronographed a number of. The +P ammunition does give increased velocities, even from 2-inch barrels, but the longer barrel lengths do make more efficient use of it. Is the extra powder being burned "after" the bullet is long gone? I'd also like to know from you guys what you think about +P out of a two inch barrel. Soooooo, I guess I'm not sure if the +P applies to my 30 year old Undercover or not.? When you load for protection, use a jacketed or hollow point in the same grain you practice with." We recommend a standard velocity load and practice with round nose lead rounds which are the least expensive. Therefore, in a two-inch barrel the extra powder is burned after the bullet leaves the barrel creating more recoil and making it harder to come back to target. +P ammo requires a four-inch minimum barrel to burn the extra powder. Yes they can handle +P but we do not recommend it for the following reasons: 38's are among the smallest revolvers in this caliber. I've never really found a definitive answer.Ī.Charter.
