I recently bought a used .38 LCR and got lucky as not only was the price good, but it looks mint and shoots POA. I owned a .357 LCR back when they came out and it shot as well, but I sold it to someone who wanted it badly. Regardless, a friend of mine is a big USPSA competitor who has the latest state of the art LabRadar chrono (quite the piece of hardware I might add) and he let me run a few shots. I only fired six shots total as he was practicing and also I didn't think I needed to fire box after box for that matter. :roll:
I shot three Federal 130 gr. HST rds. that went 824, 851 & 794 fps.
I shot one old Double Tap 110 gr. with a Barnes SCHP that went 1,052 fps. I don't think they load this one anymore, but Corbon does.
Finally, I shot two Speer 135 gr. Gold Dots that clocked 877 & 867 fps respectively.
I think these are probably the best you can get, unless you want to shoot the brutal Buffalo Bore 158 +p SWCLHP. After seeing many YouTube scientific gel/denim tests the HST round sure looks like a winner. As a bonus it shoots dead nuts to sights on my Roscoe. :wink:
