By the way, the 325 grain loads can be run up to nearly 1550fps in a 7½ inch barrel revolver, but they aren't much fun and the accuracy actually gets worse. I have the best accuracy from dropping the 325 grain bullets about 100fps from factory, and the 400 grain going about 150fps faster. Go figure.
