Midway and Lucky Gunner published the numbers.
I see now that Critical Defense is a 125gr and Critical Duty is 135gr. So, maybe that influences it.
So, I've noticed I get a bit uncomfortable when recoil hits 550 lbs, using other brands of ammo (mostly Federal, it's available here). It's not so much that it hurts my hand, it's the SOUND! just freaks me out and makes me grind my teeth. All I know is when I fired a 44 mag @ 1,000 ftlbs I decided I'd never do that again. Odly, I never fired a 45 I did not like. For some reason I found them all mild to manageable.
So, I was thinking Critical Duty @ 450 ftlbs would be good, it still expands well. Maybe I'll just have to try both after all. Was hoping to save the cost of a box of ammo.
I should have mentioned, these are for my 4" 686.
