Tinker - we did chrono that load, among others - seems to me it was down around 1,300fps. The rifle did much better (in my way of thinking) with a better hunting load of 120gr.2F. That one made 1,680fps, still a bit short of my preferred 1,800fps with small bores (20 bore and smaller) - heh, heh.

From 16's through 12's I'm happy with 1,600fps to 1,500fps. That takes a bunch more powder. Deer and black bear don't take much killing, but low velocities mean arched trajectories. I prefer to sight for 75 yards and have no holdover, even on deer, out to 125 yards, iwht the powder to take any of the large game to 150 yards or better. That takes 16 bore or more, in my opinion. Moose have been killed with less, but I prefer more.
