I've been building a 40 cal. percussion rifle. Yesterday I got to the point I needed to shoot it with a temperary rear sight to see what I needed for a permenent one .
I used a PRB with 30 gr.fff goex in a 42 in. barrel . The velocity was 1360 f/s . I thought the velocity would be greater .
Does anyone know what kind of velocities to expect from a 42 and a 36 in. barrel with this load ; as i am intending to shorten it as soon as I get the couage . It did group very well.
