Sorry for the plated bullets, but I've been a bit too busy for casting, loading, and shooting, so something had to give.
I loaded these 240 gr bullets over Skeeter's load of 7.5 gr of Unique. The internet suggests that the pressure of these loads will be in 24 kpsi range. I would say the soot on the cases and the observed velocity indicates something less than that. I do recall seeing a PDF scan of an old NRA publication that suggested that 7.5 gr was only around 15 kpsi. These were fired in my 5.5" Ruger flat top Blackhawk.
Any thoughts?
