We used Remington bullets back when we loaded the 38 with the 158 gr LHP. The reason we stopped production was that the swagged bullets were so soft, we ended up with many rejects due to damage of the bullet nose when loading.

He goes on to state it was something produced 20 years ago or so.
I would have to assume, that if the bullets were swagged and that soft, that +p+ velocities would tend to lead to severe leading.
