Ellenbr. Since I shoot muzzle loaders, what are you loading that gives you 1200 fps? I'm looking to try out my WC Scott 10 gauge this fall.
Fella, I have looked & looked to no avail for my kit for that specific black powder substitute. I seem to recall that I took a 16 gauge shotcup & added black powder substitute and monitored it with a chrony until I achieved my target velocity. Then I took a set of dikes and cut the shot cup off & then used use it to measure the powder. Did not log any written data. I had a lb or 2 of the black powder substitute and when I had ignited all that lot I couldn't find the same so I was going to switch to black powder or another substitute & repeat the process. Maybe thought I would remember it but of course that was a mistake. I will keep looking though.
Too, does anyone think the speed of sound has any bearing on the target velocity or is there any need to approach or exceed the speed of sound. Or is it just happenstance?
Cheers,
Raimey
