Don' t know of any websites, but here' s what I have come up with at my local range:
CVA Bobcat .50 cal. 1:48" twist
Speer .490 RB
.015" TC lubed patch
80 gr. Pyrodex RS
Muzzle velocity: 1691 fps
energy: 1124 ft/lbs
60 yd velocity: 1212 fps
energy: 577 ft/lbs
Approximate drop at 60 yds.- not noticable with a 3" group
Conidtions: Elevation- 5100 ft., Wind- none, Temp.-95 degrees.
Yes, I did set my chronograph out at 60 yds and shoot through it. Will do some more testing with different bullets in the near future, hope this helps.
