Some screaming velocities on that. Just a warning, it'll over expand and blow the petals off within the first few inches on the target, the remaining slug will penetrate a long ways.

No problem. I just assumed you were busy.
Thanks for the data! I was hoping to break 3000 fps but looks like I'll have to settle for 2900. Still smoking.
Not sure if I will shoot it in the revolver. I got thinking about it after I asked and I foresee the possibility of top strap cutting like the guys shooting high velocity 125 gr bullets in 357 Maximum.

QuickLOAD has this wildcat on file. Always amazing me what they have...
On the capacity did you measure that with H20? It's close to what QuickLOAD has on record (73.00gr) since case capacity is a sensitive metric, I just wanted to check before I over ride the value.
You wouldn't happen to have the make and model of the bullet? I just get the warm and fuzzies if I can use a bullet on file rather then altering an existing.
Whats your barrel length?
I got the case capacity from the cartridge drawing, if they have it on file just use what they have, who am i to tell them anything? Hornady round nose interbond. 26” barrel
