...but compared to fully loaded .38 Supers they are as slow as molasses. Last ones I clocked were in the low 1200s. Not much more than a 9mm+P. A 125 grain .38 Super should break 1300 easy.

But as bad as Silvertips are the new Federal 115

.38 Super caliber
• 115 grains
• 50-round box
• Jacketed hollow point bullets
• Reloadable brass cases
• Great for target shooting, training and practice
• 326 ft.-lb. of muzzle energy
• 1,130 fps muzzle velocity


I corresponded with Federal CS about why the ammo was so slow...they gave me some BS about SAAMI specs...


If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....
