The "white box" 130 gr FMJ is quite low powered, about the same "power factor" as target wadcutters, and cheaper. Much cheaper than .38 Short Colt and much more common. Recoil will be mild.
Yes, that is what you were asking about, right?
Not the +P "Defender" in the black box.
The primary 130 grain FMJ load described the box is - at least in my old mind - the US military M41 loading designed in the 1950s for an all aluminum (including cylinder and barrel) revolver version of the S&M Model 10. The revolver didn't survive initial testing and was never accepted, but the ammunition was. The loading was light, a 130 grain FMJ bullet at less than that expected from "Service" .38 Special loads of 158 grains at 750 fps or so. So it is a rather light load, easy to used in a speedloader and fairly accurate.
Depending on price, the 148 grain wadcutter load is probably a better round for learning and practice. If the white box stuff is inexpensive to buy and works good for you, use it. Winchester claims their ammunition runs about 850 fps, which does not indicate high pressure by any means.
How much more recoil would this white box stuff at Fleetfarm have over the 148grain wadcutter.
I find I would recoil from the price they're charging at the store you displayed. lol
They have 130g loads at AIM also, by Prvi. When they're back in stock, even with postage these should be a better buy.

Here is a sweet load I am partial to. 800 fps , totally consistent and reliable. Good value.
This is a nice low recoil load?
The WWB is a mild load , one I have used extensively. It is also readily available - oft times at a better price that that in your image.
The PRIVI is not as mild , but is still on the light side of common .38 sp.

Use this link - make this chart a favorite on your phone ... with that info you can compare and judge while you are right there in the store.
Wadcutters are deliberately nice and mild but a bit pricey.
You got time for a rant?
OK. 130 grain .38 Spls are horrible---worse than the universally issued 158 grain LRN "Widow Makers"
The ONLY thing I can see using them for is maybe as a practice load for something like a +p 125 grain SJHP even though the difference in recoil would be seriously disproportionate.
Definitely not a fan.
Rant over.
