You've measured 3000fps on a chrony using a TTSX with sane loads? What's the specifics, wouldn't of thought it would break 2900. Makes it interesting since most loads for even shorter 130gr lead bullets top out just over 3000fps in the books.


No, I'm just guessing, like you are.

Do you have any 130's? How is their length compared to 150's? How is pressure in TTSX's compared to other bullets?

44.5 grs of H4895
