To rechamber to 38-40 WCF and 401 GNR. I underestimated these rounds in a full sized gun. I've easily reached 1200 fps with a 220 grn 10mm bullet. Long seating may give me a bit more. That crowds hot 44 Special loads and that's a pretty good endorsement.

Longshot Powder is the key here. Small amounts provide near "magnum" performance. GT Bullets expand well at this velocity. Expand from dime to penny diameter.

I'll likely not take it Cape Buffalo Hunting, but very useful for lots of game.
