My 2008 Speer catalog shows this round only expanding .40 in (only 4 petals) and penetrating 23 in at a snub velocity of 1189 fps in heavy clothing. Would you guys still carry this round in a snub? Thx.
Good performance, but with a whole lotta flash and blast.
Why not use the 135 grain Gold Dot Short Barrel .357 load that was designed to expand and penetrate at lower velocity with less flash, blast, recoil, and wear on the gun?
Speer spent a lot of time designing the bullet to accomplish this.
