Intercooler, I couldn't find the original advertised velocity and energy for the Trident round...I guessimated them...

1250 is what the sheet has. David got less than the Atomic which has 8.6gr's. My results should give about 1300 FPS when I test them this week.

REDLINE

1300fps would be pretty sweet for that load.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.
