Taurus 617 CCW:
Oddly enough, I use the .357mag version of that in my titanium Taurus snubby 651 and it makes an honest 1000fps over my chrony 10' from the muzzle. The Win Partition Gold was the only .357mag where POI was anywhere near POA. It is also crazy accurate/consistent. Your article claims 17" though gelatin at 1200fps, which is right in the 12"-18" zone. I have a review/test of the Win Part Gold here on THR.
As for the Win Part Gold .44mag, Win claims 1230fps out of a 6.5" bbl. I bet it would be a little over 1000fps out of my 4" 629. That is the neighborhood I'm looking for.
I'll give the .44mag a try, since the .357mag has served me well.
