Just go back from the range and publishing my results testing Buffalo Bore .38 special +P out of my LCR's.
So I had hope to gain a little more out of the 3" barrel, but didn't get as much as I had hoped for. My initial results a while back were 1027 fps out a 1 7/8" LCR (.357 model) with a earlier load of BB .38 spl Outdoorman, 158 grain HC.
I got 1076 and 1087 fps out of the 3" LCRX. That's only a gain of 50 fps, but ends up in the 400 foot pounds range ME, so it at least will work as my woodsgun. Still not too shabby for .38 special.

Yes, I could have shot a five to ten shot string, but have found that BB is very consistent in their loads and these two are pretty right on what I would get shooting more. And at 1.25 a round, I'm happy shooting a few and calling it a day.
