COP 155gr, Speer GD 200gr, Georgia Arms 180gr and a couple other ones

[Intercooler]

   Tried all of these out today using the new Elite Limited 4.75".

Armscor 180gr FMJ 1158, 1129, 1149, 1144, 1140. Average = 1144 FPS/ 523 LBS

Speer 200gr Gold Dot HP 9.2gr's Long Shot 1235, 1248, 1211, 1252, 1239. Average = 1237 FPS/ 680 LBS Nice!

Georgia Arms 180gr FMJ 8.4gr's Long Shot 1221, 1219. Average = 1220 FPS/ 595 LBS. I believe this is their +P version and very nice!

Rainier 180gr Hex-Plated HP 10.8gr's Blue Dot 1241, 1267, 1263, 1263. Average = 1258.5 FPS/ 633 LBS. About the perfect full-power target round.

COP 155gr All Copper HP 11.0gr's Power Pistol (Buffalo Bore load) 1422, 1435, 1456, 1413. Average = 1431.5 FPS/ 706 LBS. Really happy with this level of performance and would love to see them in gel!

Underwood 180gr TMJ 9.8gr's Power Pistol 1303, 1309, 1311, 1301, 1304. Average = 1305.6 FPS/ 681 LBS. Underwood 1300!

Very nice report, like what I see! 

Were the 9.2 gr LS loadings of the Speer 200GDHP better at this level? compared to the 9.4 from the earlier test? 

[Intercooler]

  Average of the other load 9.4gr's of Long Shot was 1289 FPS/ 738 LBS. I'm going to stick those in the "discontinued" tab.

The Buffalo Bore 155's gave just a tad higher velocity but is that due to the large bullet and compression of the powder?

[The_Shadow]

Yes and maybe because the brass was worked some from pulling and re-seating, the casing may have had a slightly less grip on the bullet, I taper crimped them back into the original marks (crimp cut into the bullet) although the bullets where fairly secure and didn't exhibit any movement.

Did everything run without issue?

[Intercooler]

Yup. All my Witness pistols eat like Hungry Hippos.

  It's funny I had a guy to the right of me shooting an AR .223 pistol (LOUD) and was barking off some 10mm and he asked what that was. He said I can really feel it 

[The_Shadow]

I wonder if it was the Loud Shot or Blast Dot he was feeling?     Could have been the Power Pistol!
