90 gr 38 +P Ammo?

I recently acquired some S&W 38 Special ammunition. It's 90 grain jacketed soft point +P and the carton is marked: 2" - 2 1/2" BBL
It shoots accurately in my M 60's, both a 2" and a 3" barrel model. The recoil is surprisingly mild, although I don't know how the bullet performs.
My previous usual load was 125 gr JHP +P.
Two questions:
Any experiance with the 90 gr load?
Anyone know a source of some additional ammo?
Thanks for any help.

I've tried 95gr .38Spl+Ps out of my 2" Smith M60 and got some poor results. Generally shot too low and all over the target. I get much better results with 125gr loads. To the best of my knowledge, none of the major manufacturers make anything less than 110gr any longer. Shoot the 90grs up at the range just for fun, and then look into heavier loads.
