Good post buck460XVR - as usual. (Post #15) When it comes to big handgun ammo, your experience shows.

I completely agree. H-110 under a plated 125 is a horrible combination. It would be kind of iffy even if it was a cannelured jacketed bullet with a heavy roll crimp. H-110/W296 operates with much more consistency when it's under heavy bullets. Then when you take out the cannelure, the situation gets really wonky.

Our OP would be well served by getting some jacketed 158's. Using H-110 with jacketed 158's, going through a 7" 686+ would be a good ride. That would be some fine ammo.
