Shockeys Gold velocity???

nysbowhunter · 11-07-2006, 12:02 PM

I have finally found an excellent shooting load out of my thunder bolt. I was wondering about the velocity and energy of this load. I am shooting T/C sure fire 230 grain sabots ahead of shockeys 3f. I just want to know what an effective range may be. If anyone has tested somthing similar I would like to hear the results. Thanks, D.

Mine has a 24 in barrel and gets 1670 average with 100 gr APP FF which is same powder different screening. Lee

If the powder is fine& accuracy is good, you have a nice deer load out-to 150 yards.
