It's been a while but the 158 was down around 75%. The 125 was up around 90%.(I think If I remember correctly the number of total shots with that particular 158gr. was very small however.

Don't count on any percentage tables as an indicaor of absolute reliability. Either load is going to do serious damage in a Center of Mass hit.

Do even better and practice double-taps into COM.

It is approximately the same as other handgun rounds, somewhere between 0 and 100%, depending on what you hit.

on 1 hand i should have stated i wanted the % according to marshall & sanow, on the other, i figured you last 2 undersotod this. i was looking for neither a lecture, nor a clever little phrase. i shoulda known better than to ask a simple question.

GEO, take it easy on them. We do a lot of kidding around on this site. The reason I am fairly sure of my numbers is that I carry 357 mag. I included their tables in the info I used to make my decision on my personal carry gun: sp101 loaded w/125gr. Golden Sabers.
In the 38 spec. range the 158 was the way to go, in 357, 125 was the hot one.

I carry 5 of the 130 gr hydra shoks. If they hurt the target like they hurt my hand, they will be effective enough for a handgun load.

Can someone please post the URL for Towart's page? I'd like to check it out.

Thanks.

I'd take these figures with a whole hill of salt.
