My initial reloading attempt was 38spl 158gr Xtreme (copper plated)FP over 4.0 grains of HP-38. I want to bump it up to 4.2gr. Hodgdons shows data for jacketed Hornady XTP 38+P at 4.6 grains. Am i safe working up to +P shooting out of a 38+P rated revolver(4")? I also bought Hornady XTP 125gr HP since Hodgdon lists this exact bullet in their data which is start 4.3gr to max 4.9gr HP-38. I've had trouble finding plated bullet data for the powder(HP-38) I've got.
