RE: 45 cal. t/c flinter first range day
According to the Hodgdon's manual just 60 grains of Pyrodex RS and a .440 roundball is doing 1926 fps. So if you're pushing 85 grains of 3f I have no idea what kind of fps you are getting out of that, but it must be 2200 fps or more. That ball would have a lot of smack to it.
