FPE chart for BH209

OzarkPA · 07-03-2011, 10:56 PM

Hey all - I was bored and thinking about what bullets to buy based off of some suggestions in another thread.... so I was comparing FPE from the T/C manual using pyrodex powder vs. pellets and was suprised at the lower performance of 100gr powder vs. 2 pellets since I thought that 1 pellet was supposed to = 50 gr.

Anyways - I looked up the data for blackhorn and it's a prettier picture. Their online data was missing FPE, for whatever that is worth (I like the geekiness factor), so I added it and sorted the list on high to low FPE (based on 120gr, but should hold true throughout). This is just FPE and not terminal performance... but fun anyways.

Thanks Ron.

My computer is a gaming computer, and has the bare minimum of software.

Would like to see the 250gr Thor?

Wow! Anybody trying to decide between a Powerbelt 295gr and the 300gr Thor.

Look at the difference!!

I'm guessing down range would be even more dramatic.

Those nosler partitions are looking good. I might have to give them a try. 120 out my gun would be smoking...lol

Hey Muley - you can download some office software for free - openoffice.org It has a spreadsheet program that can open this excel file... did I mention it's free??

Yep! Its that hollow base on the thor that seals up the pressure so great.

Plus we know the terminal performance is unbeatable.

Why was I considering anything else?
