In a 2 inch 38, I'd look at a few loads. Hydra shock bullets are good, IMO. I believe Speer makes a load specifically for short barrel 38's, with a bullet of around 135 grains? Check that one out. The classic 38 load called the FBI load is a 158 SWC-HP lead bullet. I would also see what's available in the Winchester Silvertip line- those expand, IME.
There are a number of expanding bullet loads available, which, IMO, any of them are a better choice than the FMJ bullet you're using now, Trapper. Try a few loads, see what shoots to the sights of your revolver.

I've had good luck with expansion testing on the Speer GDHP in all calibers, and some of the others I've tested (Federal Hydrashok, Winchester Silvertip, PMC Starfire, Remington Golden Saber, ect) have all performed well...the only ones I didn't get to expand at all were some .380 Remington Golden Sabers and some foreign .38 Super +P ammo that was somewhat anemic on the velocity side. The .380's I don't think expanded because of how the twist was in the firearm I tested (Walther PPk/S)
