Yeah I've been a long-time Gold Dot SB fan also. However, the loads didn't fare well in the LG gel testing, at least in a 2" barrel. I was really surprised that 3 out of 5 rounds were clogged with denim and failed to expand properly.
Will probably do a bit more research online before finally deciding.
Earlier this afternoon ordered a couple new loads in addition to the Speer Short Barrels on hand:
- Winchester Train and Defend 130gr standard pressure loads
- Winchester PDX +P 130gr loads
- Remington Golden Saber +P 130gr loads
- Speer SB +P loads already on hand
I'll run some chrono tests in the next couple weeks to see how the chrono data from a Smith 642 compares to the LG test gun (Kimber with 2" barrel). Ballistic gel is just way too expensive for me to buy any for testing. I may possibly do some reading on testing with wet phone books as a substitute, just because of curiosity more than anything.
