I used to own a S&W 624 (44SP) 4". I was getting just over 1000fps out of it and found that most soft point and some HP bullets simply mushed back to the jacket and became a wadcutter. Hardcast lead maintained it's profile and kept it's directional stability better than the slightly deforming jacketed slugs. Twice, I carried this revolver to Montana bear country loaded with hot loaded 245 cast lead SWC bullets but fortunately did not really need to use it on aggressive bears.
