Those Federal 130 Hydra-Shoks (Personal Defense packaging) are the most accurate load in my 3" S&W 386. They're not quite "full-power magnum" loads, but close, and make a good match to my 18.5oz Scandium/Titanium gun. I also shoot FED 180 Cast Cores, but shot-to-shot recovery time is not as fast as with the 130's.
By all accounts, the Federal Personal Defense 130-grain Hydra-Shoks really smoke out of those short barrels. I have some for my 2 3/4" Security-Six.
What I tend to actually leave in the gun, though, are Buffalo Bore's 158-grain load (hey, I like sectional density), which is way smoking. Short barrel chrono numbers on the BB stuff are most impressive.
