Paul, great data! Also, having owned a few .357 snubbys myself, including both the 1 7/8" & 3" Scandium S&W 360's, I can positively say that those two 360's were by FAR the most brutal recoiling guns I ever shot!

I did once fire a cylinder full of some max loads (don't remember the charge but I worked it up for deer hunting in my 686) using the Sierra 170 grain JHC and it brought tears to my eyes by the 6th shot using a PAST pad & double ear protection.
