    That might just make a super deer load inside reasonable range!

    Yeah, I think thats about it for velocity to. No doubt I could push it faster but I dont think the bullet would hold together.

    Here's a couple pics of the 140gr xtp fired from my m66 and m92 into milk jugs.

    I retested some loads because I wanted to see what would happen, if anything if I crimped with a lee fcd after seating the bullets.

    Is that the 9gr of unique load?
    I’ve got a very similar velocity to that with H110 in .38 cases so I’m excited to see some encouraging results with the 140gr XTP. I haven’t been able to find any gel tests with that bullet.

    Are your loads with .38 data?

    More of an educated .38-44 load.
    I’m using .38 cases in a .357 revolver and carbine.
    I won’t list the charge of H110 but the velocity I’ve been getting is 1140fps out of a 4.2” revolver. Pretty close to what you got with the 2.75” M66 and the 9gr Unique in .357 cases.

    Cool, with the h110 being slower you might be getting a lot more fps in the rifle.
