The 5.0 Unique with a 148 gr. DEWC load that has been mentioned is a formidable self-defense loading for a J-frame snubby. Chrono'd a little over 900 fps out of a M642 w/ 1 7/8" barrel. For those who don't like the metering qualities of Unique try Universal. Slighly less Universal gave me similar velocities with the 148 gr. DEWC. I'm not a big fan of either powder in reduced loadings.
