I found this on The High Road forum, it's from August 7, 2004
I took my new S&W 625-10 to the range today to test some ammo out. I was interested in seeing how high performance ammo would do out of the 2" barrel. Due to the short barrel I decided to focus on smaller grain bullets with high muzzle velocities in order to get reasonible expansion of hollow points. All data was collected using a chronograph approximately 4' from the barrel. Here are the results.
