It may take a few months Bill, I just had rotator cuff surgery 2 days ago and I'm down to one wing.....so to speak, (pun intended)

Not saying you did not do it, but I would like to see it, to believe it. Don't mean to offend you, just my opinion. Bill K

Bill K,

You are a hard man to do business with! You need to read the entire thread starting on page one. There are photo's of the chrony screen with the fps shown................

Well, you know someone must think my pos chronograph had a hypersonic gnat fly across the skyscreens, but since I have not seen a gnat fly that fast, as it just isn't possible that a .172" 17grain from a 26" Remington 700 17FB may have actually been why the chronograph registered something speedy.

Yes, I suppose I am. Maybe just too old and been playing with firearms, etc. for over 74 years causes it. But, not matter, you play safe and sound and enjoy our sport. Bill K

Can't wait for an unsuspecting pidgeon at about 50 yards.

Here it is - there is another on the first page with a recorded speed of 5012fps.

When you run the numbers through QL it gives you fairly similar results, within 50fps or so.

[17tbs]

What are the pressures for that according to QL?

[B23]

It'll vary depending on seating depth and how close to the lands they're seated but considering this bullet is fairly short I doubt it's being seated anywhere close to the lands. QL shows it being over 61,000 PSI load with 50gr of N540 and those 30gr bullets.
