Ok the data might not be confused but I am. Hodgdon’s data for 180gr XTPs w/Longshot:
The starting velocity with 6.5 grains is aprox 1000fps which is pretty close to the rated velocity of most factory ammo.
8grs @1159fps is faster than BuffaloBores +p ammo.
Hodgdon’s data for Berry’s bullets is a little milder but still way up there.
So what am I missing? I’m hunting for data with 180gr fmj and Longshot. These loads seem dangerous so I’m not doing anything until I understand what’s going on.
