Unfortunately, pictures are all the evidence we have of this ammo.

Ill try that. 154@ 1340fps sounds awesome.

Probably 12something from a 4" gun though.

I assume it'll be 1235fps like most of the big 3's 158gr factory loads have been forever. The real question is will it expand at those velocities. 158gr gold dots by Speer's own data is pretty meh. Robust expansion (.551") in bare gel, but only partial (.453") in heavy clothing, and none in plywood. IIRC the 125s do a lot better but Speer doesn't provide data. I think the not-clear-gel results were like in the mid .50s across the board?

At that price it will be interesting to see how many are bought for experimenting!!

Are clear gel tests probative of anything?
