The effect of a heavier weight bullet?

BruceRDucer,

Finding the exact powder charge might prove a little difficult as the manufacturers usually won't release that. You could try asking around in the handloading forum.

The most accurate way to obtain velocity figures is using a chronograph.

Here's Remington Ballistics for the Express Bronze Point:

Looks like they are using a 24" barrel and getting 2700 f/s @ muzzle.

In the Lyman 48th Reloading handbook, looks like a good average powder charge is about 55 grains for a 180 gr. bullet.
