Well, the Fiocchi wad cutters are very mild shooting and very accurate.
The Magtechs are also accurate, but much heavier loads.
The manufacturer says they reach 778 fps or a ME of 132 ft lbs.
My question is, has anyone used a Chrono on the Magtechs?
I'm wondering what I'm getting from my 2" 31-1.
Also, I wonder if the Magtechs would actually expand, or are they just going to act like SWCs?

I carry/shoot a pre-Model 30 (actually a post-War I-frame 32 HE snub) as my main CCW. I carry Georgia Arms hollow points in it, but I take as a given that they are unlikely to expand. On the other hand, they are about as fast as I feel safe to shoot in this little old gun, and the hollow points will have some deleterious effect on their recipient, even unexpanded. JMHO based on personal use, YMMV.
