    Bullseye - start: 1.0 grs. @ 468 fps .../... Maximum : 1.4 grs, @ 578 fps.

    Unique - start: 1.5 grs. @ 493 fps. .../... Maximum : 2.4 grs. @ 753 fps .

    Seat the base band , 1 grease groove , the next driving band and crimp in the next grease groove .
    This will give you about the same powder capacity as a RN or SWC .
    I do this with 148 gr. and 160 gr. Wadcutters in 38 S&W and it works fine . I have my grandfathers 38 S&W DA top break and enjoy shooting it with cast wadcutters .

    700X seems to be the velocity leader with this round !
    Hope this helps ,
    Gary
