AKB, I`ve used the 285gr SAA at the 1200fps velocity from a 4 5/8" Blackhawk to take a couple of good size boar.. In and out... The shell held 23.0grs H-110.. I can tell you from experience that when you touch off 23 grains of 110 from a short barrel at night the flash is like a artillery piece going off..
