Bullseye with my 124gr bullet with BE started at 993fps and had a average of 1155fps for my full load.

However the short 1.09" OAL while being fast, was also the worse in accuracy. This style bullet in my pistol did much better with a OAL of 1.14" for general target work.

Good loading.
I have had good results with this gun and that 1.14 OAL. Had been shooting Power Pistol at that OAL and it was doing well. Wanted to change up to BE because I have around 10 lbs sitting around.
Had mainly been using for 38sp. Thats a lot of wadcutters.
