I shoot a remington 700ml, 110 grains of pyrodex powder, TC 300 grain shockwave bullet, what is your estimate of my speed at the muzzle? Trying to use ballistics calculators and need an estimate.

1700fps ish...

I had that in my notes but no idea where it was from - then I found an owner manual online and different bullets around 300 grains were just over 1500 fps. That seems slow.

Try blackhorn 209 or even triple seven powder. Either of those will get your velocity up some.

After shooting at 100 and 200 yards and figuring out the drop and using that 1,700 fps seems right on. Also I am shooting 120 grains of powder.

This is an FYI for others. I could hit a dollar bill folded in half at 200 yards every time!
