sabotloader,I thought I had my chrony fixed but it must still be sick you show over 200fts more velocity than I do unless T7 pushs them a lot faster than black or RS. Lee

Can't you get it to shoot any better than that sabotloader? Two of those shots aren't even touching the others.

Man, that's great shooting, especially withfiber optic sights.

http://whitemuzzleloading.com/Ballistic%20Tables.htm Those figures should give you a reasonable expection of velocity, Ron. I would guestimate just a bit more velocity with the 2F T7 compared to Pyro P.

It is a lot of energy all the way thru the ranges, but you can get near the same energy with a much better trajectory, penetrationand whole lot faster time to the target shooting a 300 grain Gold Dot.. not to even mention drop - than a conical.

I shoot the 460 for 10 days of the hunting season because by rule I have to, but other than that it would be a modern copper jacket.

This chart shows the bullet shot with 100 grains of T7-2f and it was early in my testing - I am now shooting 110 grains got better accuracy which also moves the bullet @ 1825fps vs the 1750 of the 100 grains

sabotloader, Well I haveproblems withthat chrony any how, I have had to repair it twice and since I dont have a schmatic it was not what I would wish. You have a record of 90 black or RS by any chance ? would you believe I only got 1280 for 90 gr, unless I wrote it down wrong. Lee
