I started out shooting plates (IPSIC) with a S&W Model 14 in 38 Spec. with 158 grain SWC. Power factor requirements in IPSIC made you use a load that had energy. Some of the other 38 Spec. shooters shot 148 gr. wadcutters. Sometimes they didn't do to well in knocking down the plates. I went to a 1911 with 200 gr. SWC loaded to power factor requirements. Much more knock down power. Use the same load for shooting combat courses on paper targets and steel plates.
