Thanks. I know that HS has gone through several tweakings to get it to open up sooner. I suspect that it'll still penetrate adequately for such needs.

I'd probably be using it from a four to six-inch barrel. But I've seen the Silvertip clocked at 1175-1200 FPS from even three-inch barrels. That's good velocity, and might make a wise choice for my SP-101, if not too vigorous on recoil. Haven't shot any .357 ammo in that gun yet.

But 140-145 grainers may be the optimum balance for three-inch barrels.
