My carry piece is a 45acp and I wanted my chrony to tell me 3 things.
1. FPS of my 230gr TAP carry ammo.
2. FPS of 230gr FMJ practice ammo (for same feel and POI as TAP)
3. FPS of cast that has same POI as TAP for LOTS of pratice (just curious what
FPS will be when POI is found)
I chronyed 5 230gr TAPs = 850FPS avg nailing bleach jug @ 25yds/ fixed sights!
6.0grs unique/ 230gr fmj = 800FPS avg no jug joy!
6.5grs unique/ 230gr fmj = 850FPS avg nailed jug 5/5:drinks:
7.0grs unique/ 230gr fmj = 909FPS avg no jug joy!
I think I've got my full power practice load. Now to get some lead loaded and
find my cheep practice load.
I love the fact that for me those 230gr HP Taps hit poa at 25yds!
