    About 80% of our .357 rounds are loaded as fast as we can drive them, if for no other reason than because it's fun.

    And about 100% of them are either a hard cast SWC or an XTP, both at 158 or so....

    I agree with the "use a heavier XTP" crowd but would also be happy to use a Hard cast WFN, or an XPB.
    XPB's at 18" velocity will fold the petals back farther/flatter, that doesn't bother me. My XPB...

    Right, they haven't shown on the website for several years now. I've been watching.
    There might be a lot of NOS still floating around, or they may still make them and have a mistake on the website.

    I like the flat sided feel of Pachmayr Grippers but I don't think they've made them for N frames for a long time. I've used 2 sets of K/L Grippers and they

    It's a significant step up.

    454 is a pretty high pressure offering and produces significant recoil along with the significant power.
    Does the 300 grain XTP hold up at 454 velocities? Maybe, I...

    Very much agreed, one man's full size is anothers "too big", my oldest daughters G48MOS in her hands equals or exceeds an N-frame or Govt. model in mine.
    So many people ignore that.

    OK, then you could go the other direction. Like a 22-250 or 220 Swift in a classic old rifle. Those prairie dogs aren't going to kill themselves :rolleyes:

    That .375 is nice.

    My suggestion would be a Ruger No. 1 in 45-70.
    Beautiful to look at, can launch big slugs slow if you want, or not. Very short for barrel length due to the action.
