bk40 - I haven't chronoed the loads I mentioned, so these are only edicated guesses:

240 gr. - 740 fps
200 gr. - 800 fps

BTW, these loads are not for home defense. Stick with some good factory loads for that purpose unless you're defending your home from rabbits and squirrels. If the time comes when you really need to defend your life, your healing wrist will be the least of your worries.
