A lead 158 will do a nice 592fps to a +P loading at 822fps

In a 686 L frame a 158 lead target load at 592fps to a hot 1281fps

With my C9 3.5" pistol a 124 FMJ starts at 916 and goes up to a nice 1133fps.

Sure there are other powders that get a few more fps out of your loads but for an all around do it all powder, this is pretty nice to have on the shelf.
Sounds like I may need to try Green Dot.

My wife's 642-2 hasn't made much more than 800 fps with CFE Pistol and 125 gr Sierra HP's. Mid 600's to low 700's with Universal and Unique.
