Marshall,
I was wondering how fast you could push a lighter cast bullet with your design, say 240-260 grain in the triple four.
The reason I ask is that I would like to give my triple four a shot at pronghorn and I would like the flattest possible trajectory.
I realize the BC is going to be one of the governing factors out there at long distances, but after reading your post on the 290 grains running upwards to 2500 fps and getting 250 yard range (absolutely awesome, a lever gun with close to 375 H&H ballistics and firing a projectile with a 0.055-inch larger bore).
Is it possible to ring out 2650 fps out of a 240-260 grains and shoot 285 yards, if need be, or am I pressing the laws of physics and possibly my luck? Also, would the bullet stay together at those velocities.
By the way I meant to ask you, did you get the article I e-mailed you last Monday? I'm assuming you did.
Take Good Care
