Reloaders manuals, give speeds in relation to a certain cartridge and diamentions for bullets ect. But no info on the actual velocity range of the bullets, certain co. give out some charts I used to have some when we had the shop but they dont match up with muzzleloader velocities.
My info is worked up from shooting a couple of tests like wet newspapers with a leather front and back set up about the theckness of a nice size bucks body; then taken into the field and tried on deer, myself and several friends have been doing this for years, we dont always like the same thing even when we get the same results[ just like here] I want bang flop because sometimes I like to hunt public land [even though I have my own] my buddie wants passthroughs even if it means doing a bit of tracking so he uses heavier bullets as a rule.
