  If the advertised pans out these should be decent!

1500 FPS/ 624 LBS for the 125gr
1425 FPS/ 631 LBS for the 140gr

I have tested a couple of the others already.

I think most have been close to specs. It's hindsight because I wouldn't have bought the weaker stuff before they published this a couple of days ago.

Sounds pretty great. Cant wait to see raggedyman test these in gel.

These were pretty shocking!

Prograde 125gr TAC-XP
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1679, 1723, 1703. Average = 1701.66 FPS/ 804 LBS

I wish a squib Underwood 150gr Nosler didn't take my Hunter 6" out this session. I will do them later!

Prograde 140gr TAC-XP
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1428, 1453. Average = 1440.5 FPS/ 645 LBS

Those 125 gr are really impressive. What happened to your hunter?

What happened to your Hunter? Kaboom?

First ever squib and the two-piece guide rod sheared the cross pin.

  I really hope to see Prograde's 200gr Hardcast hit the shelves sometime this year.
