I'm reading these posts and laughing like a maniac!!!
I once loaded some really light 38 spl loads, with 1.3-1.4 grains of Bullseye and some 158 grain lead SWCs. My range buddies where amazed that these loads actually pushed the bullet out of the barrel at all. I had no chrono, but I'd say they clocked around 400-500 fps. Can you say no recoil????

2.3 of Clays should definitely be nice out of a smaller frame revo like the SP 101. Pleasant to shoot and not intimidating for novice shooters.
