[SRK97]

I will be loading a 125 grain JHP, I would think a faster burning powder would burn more complete in a short barrel but I'm just assuming any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I chronographed loads from a 2 1/2 inch S&W 19, 125 grain Remington JHP bullets, I got my highest velocities with H110.

Like you, I thought faster powders would be better, but the chronograph said no.

Cool I have H110 I'll have to load some up.

Unique or Pistol Power are always good powders for pistols.

Whatever powder give the highest velocity in a long barrel with also give the highest velocity in a short barrel.

Not for magnums, unless you are loading reduced loads.
