Well the 355 gr Beartooth and Win 94 Timber carbine shot as follows.
40gr of Rldr 7 = 1736, 40.5=1747,41=1828,41.5=1862,42=1864,42.5&43=1880 Marshall I am planning on trying a bit more powder. How hot should I go with these 355gr bullets? After I shoot these up I was thinking of trying a 325 gr wfn to get case capacity back and higher velocity with the same meplat. (These are short range bear / moose loads)
.405 Win. M-1895 and Hornady factory loads gave 2225 and 2196 fps. They advertise 2200 so I guess they did alright!
.41 Mag Cor-Bon factory 265gr advertised at 1325 fps and 1033 ftlb surprised me with its performance out of a 6.5" Blackhawk. I got 1403, 1384, 1399, 1376,1357,1366fps! Averaging 50fps FASTER then advertised. 1400 fps is pretty good right?
.375 Win factory(Win 200 gr) was dissapointing, only shot 2136,2076,2126 and 2109 from my M-94 BB.
The .45 Super did not hit its advertised mark from my Springfield V-16 Longslide 1911. It is advertised as 230 gr at 1200 and 185 gr at 1400. My factory loads gave 230gr at 1176, 1154, 1172,1166,1159. 185gr was 1318,1317,1331.1305.
Well what do you guys think? Are these numbers pretty standard? Can i get them hotter? Or is this all the performance I need for hunting? Appropriate game for the caliber of course.
