Thanks for the great info! I've had some troubles getting my 10.5" to cycle subs, so this gives me a perspective to compare mine to.

Good deal certifiable
Yes, I am a Baptist, and yes I carry a gun. You might think I carry a gun because I don't trust God. Well you would be wrong. I have complete faith in my Lord. It is mankind I have no trust in

Re: Pistol Gas Sub Loads, Various Bullets & Powders
Thread is awesome.
From your data it looks like the hornady 220 tipped HPBTs I just put over 10.9 gn of 5744 will be supersonic in my 10.5" barrel. I thought I would be right around 1,000 fps since their load data showed ~1,100 fps out of a 16" barrel.

Glad you find it useful. Remember that any of these loads you might try in your gun will likely need some adjusting.Bravo_Bravo wrote:Thread is awesome.
