Hello I am reloading for my Uberti 73 19" carbine and Uberti 4.75" SA both in 44-40. I am using GT Bullets 220 HP bullets that are sized .429. They are about 0.0015" over my slugged barrels. I loaded 6 of each load. Fired 5 through the rifle and 1 through the pistol. I tried getting velocities with a Lab Radar and it wasn't picking up the bullets for some reason so I went back to using my older ProShot chronograph about 5 feet infront of me. Yesterday I shot my loads and got scared! Could you all look at my data and tell me not to be scared.
RL7 23.5 WLP -- Rifle -- avg 1,193 f/s ES 107 Pistol -- 524 f/s
RL7 24.0 WLP -- Rifle -- avg 1,632 ES 36 Pistol -- 633 f/s
RL7 24.5 WLP -- Too scared of loosing body parts to try it.
RL7 23.5 Fed LP Magnum -- Rifle avg 1,286 ES 23 Pistol -- 740 f/s
RL7 24.0 Fed LP Magnum -- Rifle avg 2,830 f/s ES 367 Pistol -- 725 f/s
RL7 24.5 Fed LP Magnum -- Way too scared to shoot them after seeing the velocity readings.
Could someone with some experience with RL 7 and 44-40s help me with what's going on? I would think that my chronograph is lying to me but it was picking up all the bullets.
