If you are really concerned about penetration then a hard-cast SWC load at higher velocity is probably what is going to work best (as offered by the various "boutique" ammunition companies) but any 158-gr bullet at 800 FPS or better in an Airweight Chief is not going to be much fun to practice with.  |
Thanks for the replies. You are spot on about the retort on 158gr. I just put Hogue Tamer grips on and it has made a huge difference. Still very stout but manageable.
