As a note;
In my M49 S&W snub nose, the 110gr JHP target fps did best
in the 872 to 898 fps area, in my weapon.

Full loads rand from 909 fps with the fast burning powders to
a maximum load of Unique at 996 fps for the best slow burn powders that I tested, accuracy wise.

The light 110gr will work in a snub but a 125 at 880 bare bones
or 903 fps if you can handle it, is a little better in the SD department.

The problem is getting a JHP to expand with the fps out of the short 1 7/8" barrel !!

One reason, many just shot a "Slow" big 158 gr. lead wc bullet.
Good luck.
