low recoil

[Doc Holliday 1950]

I have a 2" Rossi 357 mag revolver. If I am using 38 spec +P HP ammo, which loads are considered to be "low recoil" with decent stopping power?
Right now I have Remington UMC 125 grain sjhp and Federal 129 grain Hydra Shok jhp.

I'm not sure if they make it in 38 +p but Federal makes a type of Hydra Shok that they market as low recoil.

The lowest loads you can get are some of the cowboy loads behind a 105 LTC bullet, such as the link below. Ten-X is the manufacturer that I've used. As for stopping power? Not so much.

135 grain Gold Dot that gets 900+ fps is quite well regarded. That's what I carry in my SP-101
