Last year I shot a 125gr Gold Dot in my snub nose and it went through three water jugs and stopped in a partical board behind the jugs. This was my starting load with the powder and the chrony said at 10 feet it was going 840 fps. This speed works great with the 125gr Nyclad bullet design but the Speer Jacket GD was designed for higher velocity.

900 fps +P speed works..............840 fps just does not get it done.
