According to the Quickload program this has a velocity of 610 FPS.
I do the same, never load hot or close to hot loads unless for SD loads and I go by the book. Used the same 2.8 grns of Bullseye for my Colt Mid Range and am shooting the few 100 of the left over ones in any revolver, Very accurate.
Reloading is safe and simple as long as one has common sense and Goes by the reloading manual.
Seems way to many reloaders get carried away.
