The fixed sights of the gun determined the velocity which I estimate to be about 900 fps, maybe a little less. Happily, this is a very pleasant load to shoot all day. |
Nice converison. I am not sure how you estimate vel using the sights, the gun prints where it prints & the vel is what it is. One thing I have learned over the years chronographing 100s of revolver loads, is few guns yield identical vel even made by the same manuf w/ same bbl length. That load could be 900fps, but in a 4" bbl, probably closer to 800fps.
