Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Hot loads in that bullet weight are about 400ft/sec faster.
Similar to 38 special vs 357 magnum velocity difference; but not as slow as the 44 special.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
I've got some for my 500 S & W, and Holly Crap!!Me likey likey very much!!
I found a review on google where the guy chrono'd em out of a 7.5" barrel and all shot just over 1400fps.Originally Posted by Colorado Osprey
What do you like about it?I've got some for my 500 S & W, and Holly Crap!!
Interesting since Winny only rates them at 1250 at the muzzle.
Hot loads with a 240 grain bullet are close to 1600ft/sec at the muzzle
That is 832 vs. 1364 ft/lbs of energy.... HUGE difference in felt recoil and energy on target.
Even at 1400ft/sec and 1044ft/lbs of energy they are no slouch, but could be hotter.
Even small velocity differences at these velocities translate to big number changes in the big bore stuff.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
