Rowdy,
Neat video! Thank you for sharing. 

How was the accuracy between the Swiss and 777?

Any idea on the velocities?

The velocities was at about 1350  with the Swiss and fairly close with the triple 7 . I think the triple7 was at 1338 fps ? I was shooting at steel and from the best I could tell they were both pretty close to the same size groups . I shot from 50 yards to 75 yards . That day I was just   trying out the camera , this was my first trip solo shooting a video . I want to get some knock down targets to shoot .

Rowdy,
Thank you for the info.  Based on the velocities, I assume that you reloaded the ammunition (?) since I have not found any current factory ammunition with anything close to those ballistics. I wish there was......

Yes ,  I reloaded the Triple 7 . Was pleased with the load I picked , I had tried the 22.5 grains by WEIGHT . which put me at 1250 ish load . I wanted at least 1300 fps so I increased my load and got the velocity I wanted .
Now the Swiss was loaded for me by Powder Inc. they loaded 3f and 35 grains which is a little heavier than I wanted . Oh well the load I am after with the Swiss is 37 grains of 2f . That is a load you have already listed and tested .

Rowdy,
Thank you for the information.   Is Powder Inc. going to supply you with some Swiss 2F loaded cartridges to test?

That is a good question , I think they are having second thoughts about it . There has been very little interest in this project . There is a few of us that would LOVE to see this finish , but that is the problem just a few . I have to give Powder Inc. credit they were listening to us , but there just aint enough of us .

Rowdy,
Sorry to hear that.  I was thinking that it would be in their best interest to offer a much better product than what they have now.
A better product usually = more repeat business.......

Has anyone heard the rumor that Goex was going to offer a powder to compete with Swiss .

[Rowdy Fulcher]

Howdy
Here you can see Triple 7 against the almighty Swiss .

[Rowdy Fulcher]

Howdy
Now we have Goex's new powder Old Ensyford .

Interesting operating technique .... ;>)

What was that white bundle of fabric you were using as a rest?

[Rowdy Fulcher]

Howdy
