Guest cookoff013 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 thats for 32g loads at 1400fps @2.5M it can push 1oz 1450fps, but it may be alittle "warm" they re-formulated it a while ago. best look at the noblesport website for a start.

Floating Chamber Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I may be wrong, but none of the above posts seem to mention the GAUGE of the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK fowler Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 that looks good. do you have an expected fps of the 31grains? I use this load side by side with my pet load using longshot (same wad and shot 34grains of powder) which has a book speed of 1620fps you cant tell them apart in the field not very scientific I know but I would expect 1650fps on 31grains the only downside Im out of tecna-n and I think graham is out of the stuff and longshot is around £37 a Ib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
