I still haven't found any ratings for the Prograde ammos I have tested so far. Soon I will just put my own in  :-X

Yes, I did a little looking around and didn't find any data either for velocity... ???  sad there isn't even a guesstimate of what to expect! ::)

I wrote them tonight. They also have a 275gr Hardcast .44 Mag and 200gr Hardcast 10mm.

I'm trying to find out where I can purchase both and get the ballistics.

I forgot to grab the Limited 4.75", so only 4" XD info for the 9mm this time. Next time out I will do the longer barrel.

Prograde 147gr XTP +P 1124, 1130. Average = 1127 FPS/ 415 LBS Just behind Underwood and Buffalo Bore. Nice!
BVAC 124gr FMJ Reman 1115, 1130, 1119. Average = 1121.33 FPS/ 346 LBS

The Prograde 320gr Hardcast out of a 7.5" Ruger Redhawk:
1349, 1368. Average = 1358.5 FPS/ 1312 LBS. Very nice!

I also retested a couple of .357 Magnum rounds out of a GP-100 6":

Underwood 125gr Golden Saber 1620, 1655, 1615, 1644, 1707. Average = 1648.2 FPS/ 754 LBS
Prograde 180gr XTP 1267, 1271. Average = 1269 FPS/ 644 LBS

You didn't send  the ProGrade 44mag, 357mag or 9mm stuff yet, did you?   :-\

I plan on adding another column to 10mm, .357 and .44 sheets for Meplat. This 320gr might be the biggest if my .350" measurement is what you get. Hopefully we captured most of the Hardcast on the pull-downs.
