Friends and I braved the cold Tallahassee morning to head to the range and do some shootin'. I had 4 loads to test, and this one was the ticket- it was worth chronographing too.
10 grains Unique
Oregon Trail 240 gr. LSWC
Remington once-fired brass
Winchester 'large pistol' primers
avg. velocity: 1201 fps
This group was fired 'standing on my hind legs' in the words of Mr. Taffin... The whole group measures 1.25" center to center including my last shot, which is not so much a 'flyer' as it is the result of my realization that I was cutting one ragged hole at 25 yards and the goofy excitement that followed that realization. The 4-round cluster measures ~.78". After I'm done cleaning my sweet old '59 flattop I'll load every .44 mag case I have with this load.
