    muzzle velocity info

    I don't have a chrony, but was wondering if anyone has info on the following:
    CVA Optima (v1) .50 cal.
    200gr .451" Hdy XTP
    harvester black sabot
    150gr (3 pellets) Pyrodex

    This is shooting 3/4 MOA, consistently, for me out to 200 yds; any idea what the muzzle velocity might be?

    Just guessing.

    You can expect at least 1750 fps.

    This is one is a pretty good estimate.

    This might not be the same exact weapon or barrel length, but it is 50 cal with Pyrodex. It should be in the neighborhood. You're probably pushing close to 2200 fps, basically. Trying to estimate drop past 200 yd? Make a cheat sheet from bullet BC and velocity then check how close the drop is @ 250 yds. Remember to check you sight axis height.
    May you hands be warmed on a frosty day.
