38spl 130gr +P HST micro from speed loader

"...bullet seated flush..." So does a WC. That JHP is similar to the old, old bullet, whose name I forget, that was a WC with the Hydra-Shok stem.
Using that bullet only means you'd probably have to wiggle and jiggle the loader some as the pointier bullets like an SWC, create a self-funneling effect a WC doesn't. So the 'speed' won't be fast.

Yea that’s what I was worried about...it’s shorter overall compared to regular 38 round and those HST should sit up straighter. I’m just guessing no idea if this is an issue in practice"...bullet seated flush..." So does a WC.

I shot a lot of wadcutters in PPC and the reload was not a problem in the time available.
Faster shooting as for USPSA and IDPA, they hamper the reload.
I have started an IDPA stage with wadcutters in the gun but roundnose in speedloaders on the belt for reloads.
If I particularly liked the submerged HSTs I would carry them in the gun, but something ogival for a hasty reload in the unlikely event of a sustained firefight.

Like Jim says, it's about the time available. Otherwise, it doesn't make any difference. You're still putting the 5 or 6 rounds in all at once.
+P ammo isn't exactly what you'd want for any kind of shooting game anyway. If you can't deal with whatever you need to while defending you or your's with 5 or 6 rounds, a reload isn't going to help.
