Scott,

Without a Chrony, I really can't tell you the exact fps drop you're looking at, but let me give you a funtional example:

I'll shoot 350gr sabot rounds on the "X" at 100yds with 110gr of Pyro RS and then dropping back to 300gr XTP Mags at 90gr of Pyro I can shoot the exact same "X"s without adjusting the sights at all. And I've never had an animal yet that walked away after being hit by either load. That tells me that they both are traveling at near the same speed & hitting with the same amount of force. Based on Precision Rifle's numbers and a little seat-of-the-pants feel.......I'd say the load is probably running around 1600fps out of the muzzle.

Trust God..........but keep your powder dry!
