Velocities with the heavy loads are over 2000 FPS. Jason regulated the barrels at 2 inch groups at 75 yards.

Pictures were posted here in the photos section when I first got the gun earlier this year. I can email pictures if anyone wants. Jason is in CO.

I have not chrono'd the loads myself and I have not tested her to the limits but i shoot at my 50 yard range in my "yard" and I get consistent 2 inch groups OFF HAND.

I am still playing with soft loads and heavy loads. I sue Woodleighs for the heavy laods and performance cast for light loads. This gun I can shoot for about a $1.10 to $1.50 a shot. That is a little better than the $450.00 for a box of 20 for EXPRESS 500 factory loaded boolits.(!) haha!

Plus I love the look of the Older Merkels... beautiful wood and metal. This gun I would pick over just about any under $20K newly made gun.
