Will 158 gr. lead round nose (Federal) cartridges be o.k. for range use in a S & W 642? I have never used this type of cartidge before, but they're the only ones that I can find on the shelves right now. Don't want to inflict any damage on the weapon. Any other suitable load(s) that I should keep my eyes peeled for?? I was previously using a Remington 130 gr. fmj.
