I probably have close to a case of the 95 grain Silver Tips. We used them at the Academy for night fire exercises on steel plates. As I recall, recoil was almost non-existent in a 4" gun. The jacket might have had some magnesium in the alloy because these suckers would flash when they hit the steel. We called them "Hollywood bullets" because of the flash, but that flash also gave visual verification of hit. I'll try to snap a picture of a box for y'all to see.
