It's not bad for the one piece ejection but I still can't load them at anything close to fast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I'm a little behind on my 9mm load data. I know the Speer 124 grain hollow point is well thought of and the HST in 124 and 147 are as well. I'm hoping to find a load that will have enough velocity to work well with hollow points out of the snub without having so much recoil that it slows down a second shot too much.

I have a 642 Talo II J frame that came from the factory cut for moon clips. I don't use them because the length of the 38 Special cases makes them awkward to handle at best. It is my EDC and I usually carry it with 148 grain wadcutters and a reload of Speer Gold Dot in a speed strip. When I first heard of using Short Colt brass it was about how the competition guys liked it for speed of reloading. My question is, what kind of velocities are you able to get out of them in a modern revolver ? I know all of the published data is for the older ones that came chambered in that. Any information you could share on bullets used, overall lengths loaded to, anything on how you load them would be greatly appreciated. It seems to me that if you can load them to something approaching lower end 9mm velocity the ease of loading and unloading would be great. Then the extra length you would save in the cylinder might have the same positive effect as the 9mm round gets in the Ruger LCR that has the same length cylinder as the 38 Special model.
