The only advantage to the jacket is less fouling at these low velocities

The reputation for that round came from 4 inch service revolvers

That's one reason I like testing in short barrel firearms. Just because a round is great from a 4 - 5 inch barrel doesn't mean it will be from a 2 - 3 inch barrel. Thanks for watching.
