When I was shooting steel silhouette(3/8 thick) steel rams at 600 feet & had to knock the ram over I used 15 grs of 2400 pushing a Keith cast swc design bullet # 358429 wgt was 170 grs. Because of the weight of the hard cast bullet it was a tad hotter load than BLUJAXOI'S.
Mine was a RED line load but like BLUJAXOI my model 28(6in) did the job for me. I made the mistake of shooting that bullet in my model 19.
I had to use my shoe heel to pound out the empties before I ended up taking my gun to S&W ( Right down the road ) and have a new cylinder installed. Live and learn.
