[QUOTE="scdogman, post: 2705905, member: 27553"] Called Hornady and asked what was the minimum fps needed for expansion. The representative stated it was 1800 fps. I let him know the that at speed many guns would have a 50 yard or less range. 100 grains by volume of BH209 produces 1943 fps which drops to 1800 in less than 40 yards. Had him check with another representative and they he stuck by 1800 fps. They did know this was a muzzle loader bullet. Barnes stated 1100 fps for the T-EZ Spitfire 250 grains. Disappointed in the lack of knowledge by Hornady rep. I guess all the knowledgeable guys are making 7mm PRC Brass. What is the real speed needed? [/QUOTE]
