Fantastic rounds. Low...
Fantastic rounds. Low recoil and extremely accurate. Obviously the terminal ballistics aren't as good as some of the defensive rounds, but the accuracy makes these perfect for the range. While I might not make this my first choice for a defensive round, I wouldn't hesitate to carry them if needed.

Questions & Answers
Q: I shoot alot of wadcutters in my 642 and 637. Can anyone recommend anything else with low recoil that is inexpensive. I can shoot 200 to 300 of these wadcutters. And maybe 10 rounds of regular ammo. Any help would be appreciated. The only absorb g the recoil is me and my arm. Than you

A: The Federal web site says 690 fps, not sure how 710 gets best answer. I guess Federal doesn't know the velocity of their own ammo. 🤔
