do these FPS numbers seem at all accurate

[JeffB1961]

i saved article this a while back and was wondering y'alls thoughts on the fps numbedrs he got with different powers/pellets . the thing that's really caught my eye though is the 777 powder vs BH209 at 100 and 120 grains . in his results with 100 grains 777 powder produced 87 fps more than BH209 . although at 120 grains BH209 beat 777 by 123 fps with BH209 having less SD by 3-5 times less . and with 777 going from 100 grains to 120 grains only produced a trivial 30 fps more vs BH209 having a 240 fps difference between 100 and 120 grains . these results suggest that with 777 going above 100 grains of powder is prertty much just wasting powder and money .

are these results just internet BS that is best ignored ? or is he onto something ? here's a link to his article .

does anyone have any FPS numbers comparing 100 vs 120 grains of 777 powder ?

This info comes with Barnes bullets and seem to be fairly accurate.

does anyone have any FPS numbers comparing 100 vs 120 grains of 777 powder ?

100 grains: 1,876 fps.. 120- grains: No. 150 grains: 2,097 fps. Bullet was the 250 grain SST in black crush rib sabot seated hard on the powder.

@sabotloader has done extensive data collection and presented it here several times. Here’s a link to one thread with great info.

I still get a chuckle out of the 3 pellet FireStar load (100gr) vs the old 2 pellet loads (also 100gr). You get more actual propellant with the 3 FireStar pellets ...so yeah.....it makes more speed than the old 2 pellet load.....
