    I also favor SR4759 and lament its passing. Luckily I have a good stash. After that, it is hard to go wrong with Ed Harris's "The Load" 13 grains of Red Dot

    My favorite was Remington 148 grain hollow base wadcutter over 2.8 grains of Bullseye. 755 fps out of my S&W model 52-1. Seems like no one sells a good hollow base wad cutter anymore.
