How fast

Post by Chizz »

Does anyone out there know how fast 40gns of H 322 would push the Lee .457 340gn FP boolet out of my Rio. Don't own a chronograph at the moment but it's on the list. I was wondering mainly so I could get a rough idea of trajectory.

Cheers

I feel you man. If I did have a Chrono I wouldn't have a very good place to set it up, so I have never bothered to go ahead and get one.

Hopefully someone can help, but I guess all I have to offer is a bump.

Tell me the overall length of the cartridge, at I can give you a very close estimate.
