240 gr. bullet
Approximately how much velocity does a 240 gr. Saboted bullet get out of a 22" barrel over 100 gr. of Pyrodex?
How much range will this load offer on deer and black bear?
Oh, it is a JHP

RE: 240 gr. bullet
Between 1600 to as much as 1800 FPS, but probably closer to 1600, from a short 22" barrel. Max range, + - 125 yards, depending on how good you are at range estimation, holding & squeezing!!
Keep yore powder dry!!

RE: 240 gr. bullet
78, prior post pretty much nailed, I shoot this setup and my book says 1675 on velocity. I sight in an inch high at 100" and am good to 150...but yet to have had to use that range. I have killed 3 deer and 1 Bear with it...no problems what so ever.
What range where you wanting? Just do some trial and match the results to your applicable situation. Hey good luck!
