I found at site that compared the Georgia Arms 200 GD, the Winchester Silvertip 200, & the Speer (factory) 200 GD. Both the GA & WIN rounds POI was low and slightly left-of-center; whereas the Speer GD POI was on for elevation and slightly right-of-center.

Speer is listing 875 out of a 6-inch barrel. I'm shooting out of a 2.5 inch barrel. I know one of the issues with recoil is the unburnt ejecta and I would like to keep that to a minimum. They don't make a short-barrel version of the .44 Special.

One of the criticisms I read about the GA 220 GDs was that there was a significant flash and heavy recoil. Does anyone know what the initial MV is for that load?
