Some chrono data for comparison
Bear in mind all guns listed are .357's
The load is 4.0gr of 231 behind a 158gr LRN bullet in .38spl cases.
firearm--------- average velocity (fps)
Taurus 605 2" ----------- 738
Dan Wesson model 15 2 1/2"---- 756
Dan Wesson 4"
same gun, different barrel --- 746 (this changes with .357's)
S&W 686 6" --------- 796
This was a load that made minor power factor when I used the 686 for USPSA competition and was plenty accurate. I just happened to chrono it in all my .357's so it seemed appropriate to share it here.
