Due to the context of this thread I am assuming you were using a Smith & Wesson Governor or something comparable. When you are speaking of self-defense situations, I don't usually think of shooting at 25 yards or even 15 yards, but more like 5 yards. At 5 yards I would imagine the ammo you are describing which I have also, would be extremely accurate and do significant damage.
