Hope I am not breaking a rule here but the following came from the Smith and Wesson forum in their ammo section. Again not my testing.
2" S&W M337:
High 800 fps
Low 799 fps
Yes, a total for five shots of 1 fps variance.
3" Custom Colt Agent:
High 859 fps
Low 855 fps
Extreme spread of 4 fps.
4" S&W M67:
High 889 fps
Low 885 fps

Extreme spread of 4 fps.
Extremely consistent! The bullet being seated against the powder charge likely helps.

Out of a 2" Smith & Wesson Model 64-2, I got the following:
HI: 753.9
LO: 811.3
AV: 782.9
ES: 57.42
SD: 20.12
EDIT: This was a ten-shot string.

How was recoil as compared to, say, 135gr GDHP or other +P stuff?Originally Posted by Tamara
Velocity seems a tad lower.
Just found this...chrono,wetpack and targets shown
https://www.thefiringpen.com/single-...0-gr-HST-Micro
This is a screengrab from Brassfetcher showing 9mm 124gr xtp into 10%,20% and wet pack.
What's the point, since normal 38 spl loads work just as well?
To make reloading slower and more difficult?
Those numbers in the OP...I'm calling BS on those. Ammunition doesn't work that way.
As far as penetration and expansion in 10% clear gel with 4LD, don't look for much expansion, but penetration is extremely consistent, whether fired from a 2" 64 or a 4" 686...

Tamara if that testing with the clear ballistics gel is yours do you have any numbers?

The numbers and everything will be in a piece at Breach Bang Clear soon-ish. That's a 16" block, though.
