[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 545847, member: 10"] Interesting, you started out reporting 3600 fps and zipping through AR500 steel plate. Then you came back and said you were loading to around 3440 fps and still holding to the claim you were punching AR-500. Now you come back and say, "in the interest of case life" your loading to around 3385 fps........ And not you can not punch steel. If your putting a dent in your steel, its still NOT AR500 plate. You are however getting your velocity levels down where they could be believable in a faster then normal barrel. I used to have a factory Ruger M77MkII rifle in 7mm Rem Mag with a 24" sporter barrel. That rifle would EASILY drive the 140 gr Ballistic Silvertip to 3425 fps with no visual pressure signs at all and decent brass life. So I could believe your getting 3385 fps with your Voodoo with your barrel length. Just find it interesting that the more you work with this round, the closer you get to realistic performance numbers. Funny how things tend to work out that way. Perhaps your first reports were a bit premature and now you are seeing what the VooDoo should really be producing. [/QUOTE]
