Worked on sighting the Hunter for it's dose of Loctite and ran a bunch of 180's today.
EAA Witness Hunter 6" barrel
American Eagle FMJ 1126, 1141, 1127, 1122, 1120, 1122. Average = 1126.33 FPS/ 507 LBS
RightToBear FMJ 1385, 1368, 1363, 1365, 1342. Average = 1364.6 FPS/ 744 LBS
Underwood TMJ (member's box) 1378, 1369, 1357, 1359, 1358. Average = 1364.2 FPS/ 744 LBS Same as RTB!
PBR FMJ 1414, 1425, 1412, 1413, 1396. Average = 1412 FPS/ 797 LBS
Buffalo Bore JHC 1402, 1420. Average = 1411 FPS/ 796 LBS

Buffalo Bore JHC 1354, 1357. Average = 1355.5 FPS/ 734 LBS

American Eagle FMJ 1081, 1078, 1102. Average = 1087 FPS/ 472 LBS
In looking at all the data there it seems different powders are giving different results in shorter versus longer barrels.
Has a pull down been done on those Buffalo Bore JHC's? Looking for similar numbers out of my 175 gr silvertips.
Someone did on another site and it appeared to be 10.0gr's of Power Pistol. I'm sending the one I had with a bunch of others to The Shadow tomorrow.
That seems kind of high power for Power Pistol. Didn't know it could produce those kind of speeds, figured it would be 800x or Longshot. But I don't have any experience with Power Pistol, just going by what I have read over the years.
The RTB did surprisingly (in my mind) well, even honorably well. I'll be curious to find out what The_Shadow finds for a powder and charge weight. UW was awesome as usual.
RightToBear was done a while back and had 10.8gr's of Blue Dot.
My bad. Thanks for the heads up! 8)
