Does anyone here have any experience with the RMR smiley face bullet? I tried loading some up and used titegroup and Winchester 231 and even with the max load I’m only getting just at 700FPS out of a 4” barrel.
I am using the loading data out of the hodgdon manual for 140 grain bullets. I don’t know what’s going on and why it’s so slow. The published info shows I should be getting around 900FPS at those charge weights.
At first I thought maybe the powder had gone weak, but I doubt that would happen to two separate type of powder. All my reloading stuff is kept inside my house so it’s all climate controlled.
I am using GINEX primers but I doubt that would make a difference, because it hasn’t affected anything else.
