Just my 2 cents worth.

My experience is that 148 grain full wadcutters over 3.5 grains of Bullseye and Small Pistol primer for about 875 fps out of a 2" barrel and 158 grain hardcast RNFP over the same charge & primer for 800-825 FPS with a wide meplat like used in Cowboy Action shooting poke a big deep hole at moderate controllable velocities if that is of any interest.

I believe these to be quite adequate for serious social interaction at close quarters.

George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you!
