Velocity from Katahdin Barrel
« on: November 12, 2009, 04:47:59 PM »
Does anyone know the approximate muzzle velocity of the Hornady 500 S&W 300 Gr FTX round out of the T/C Katahdin barrel?  I am attempting to set up a ballistic/trajectory chart on the round for hunting.

2200-2300 fps is my guess.

I can confirm that the recoil is rather stout.  Ten rounds of Hornday 300 gr FTX gave me a sore shoulder.  Manageable though.
