Thanks! High, but one wouldn't shoot a lot of it, once he knew how it performed in his guns...I like the idea of a gas check on lead bullets at those velocities.

Has anyone here clocked that ammo in their guns?

In a 2" 642 and LCR it is damned EVIL! I guess my hands/wrists simply aren't strong enough. Someone on another site chronographed it at 1020 from a 2". BB uses Rim Rock gas checks with a B/N of 5 (very soft).
