I did some chronographing several months ago with a number of my revolvers & two of my favorite cast bullets: Lyman's, 358156GC LSWC & 35891 WC. Both were cast from 2:1 ratio, ACWW to Pb, sized to 0.358" with annealed Hornady GC's and lubed with 50-50 Alox-Beeswax. I thought the results might be of general interest to guys who don't have access to a Chronograph.
Best regards, Rod
