Here is the run down:
S&W 4" 629
MBC 240 grn. RNFP Smasher
7.0 grns of Titegroup
1.567" OAL
939.1 FPS
Another member here is getting 965 FPS with 6.2 grns of Titegroup under a 240grn LSWC at 1.654" OAL out of a Ruger Redhawk 7 3/8" barrel.
What am I missing? I'm using .8 grns more with a much shorter OAL shouldn't my load be traveling a bit faster? I know barrel length, elevation, temperature etc. has some play in how fast the bullet travels, but this much?
Please enlighten me.
