question about load pressure
I'm shooting a Thompson center Triumph .50Cal, Barnes spitfire 285gr sabot with 120gr charge of blackhorn 209 powder. When I chronographed this load the velocity was between 2,230 and 2,254 fps. Which seems really fast for this load. I shot 9 different strings through the chrono. Can this be caused by how hard it is to load the Barnes bullets with the yellow sabots? I already bent the ramrod. And can this cause dangerous excessive pressure when fired? This is a great load combination that groups 3/4" at 100yds and 2 inches at 200yds. Thanks...
