I am seriously considering acquiring a Ruger GP100 in .44 Special with the 3.5" barrel.
This has me wondering if anyone has chronographed the Skeeter Skelton load of 7.5gr of Unique under a 240gr Keith type semiwadcutter out of that barrel length?
What velocity did it clock and would it have been controllable in defensive rapid fire?
I'm looking for the mythical "do everything" load that could reasonably be used for defense, close range hog shooting, etc. I'm thinking I may have to step down from 7.5gr, but want to find out what it likely clocks in at first.
